Hi All,
Am troubleshooting a feed problem and looking for some guidance.
Here's whats happening:
I am getting an E2 code, when trying to start up.
It's clear that the lower auger is turning.
With the lid open, and the hopper lid switch depressed, the upper auger does not turn.
Here's what I've tried:
1. Bridging the hopper lid switch. --> No change; (switch bypassed by connecting two female spade connectors together with a dual male connector); Will double check this with a continuity test to double confirm.
2. Switched the upper and lower auger motor connections. --> Upper auger spins; lower auger does not.
3. Disconnected hose and cleared the vaacum hole in the side with a long skinny nail and it's clear, goes all the way into the box. --- > No change
This leads me to believe:
1. The motor is OK, since it turns when powered by the leads from the lower.
2. The hopper lid switch is OK, since it checks out.
To confirm, that leaves the remaining culprits as follws:
1. Vaacum switch
2. Control board
3. Vaacum hoses/connections/Gasket for door seals
Questions:
1. I assume that I can test the vaacum switch by bridging the wires in order to rule that out?
I am assuming that if the system works with the vaacum switch bypassed, that would rule out the control board, but could still be a leak in the vaacum system or a faulty switch.
2. How would you recommend testing the vaacum swich itself, if the above comes to bear?
Apologies if this has been covered before, but I haven't come across this yet in my searches for upper auger issues.
Thanks!
Sam
