Fuses Blowing

[bailey]

Quadra Fire Mt Vernon Pellet Stove
Feeder motor stopped feeding - attempted to restart - took out and cleaned - replaced the feeder motor - attempted to restart the new feeder motor and fuse blew on reset button. replaced fuse with 7amp 250V - keeps blowing. Now What? HELLP....

sounds like a short to ground, start following wires, look for any wires which may have gotten against any of the hot spots like the exhaust blower or the housing its bolted to. most common thing with fuses blowing in that case is a grounded wire. if this doesnt pan out , mark and disconnect the wires from the controller if possible and try the reset, if no blow, connect one component reset, no blow, connect another , one of teh components will blow the fuse, this will isolate the component and you can concentrate on its wiring or on the component, i would suspect the new auger motor right off the bat if the old one wasnt blowing fuses
