Been fooled a few times when my auger stopped working and it was actually just the snap disc having popped. Make sure you check that first.

The high limit which has to be manually reset is on the back top of the heat exchanger, left hand side looking at the stove there is a small red reset button in the center of that switch, press that in and you should feel it snap back in place. Then hit the on/off button to turn the power off and then back on.
This is the likely cause only if the stove stopped running with a fire going.
The normal cause for this is a failed, failing, dirty convection fan (At least that is what the manual says. I take exception to that but here is not the place for the debate. ). What has happened is the stove exceeded 250 degrees on the heat exchanger where the snap disc is.
The other cause is a vacuum error due to the combustion fan not starting or ash in the plumbing somewhere reaching the point the stove can no longer breath.
