King KP130 err2 issue

[DB79]

I bought a used King kp130. This is my 2nd season. I keep getting an err2 error. I’ve cleaned it out. I attempted to remove the auger to inspect it but can’t get it out. I disconnect the motor and the upper bushing then attempt to slide it up to pivot the bottom out but it won’t pull through the lower bushing for some reason. I can’t help but wonder if that’s indicative of the underlying problem. Anyway, I put everything back together hoping cleaning it out thoroughly would do it but ran it again and after a short time of it running (maybe 15 minutes) it stopped dropping pellets and the err2 message came back. Looking for advice because finding someone to service it has also been a pain.

Maybe a vacuum problem. Start by checking the hose from the vacuum switch to the fire box make sure it is not cracked or plugged with soot to include the small hole/metal part that the hose hooks to. Unhook hose from vacuum switch and try to blow air toward the stove. Clean stove and all venting. Open stove door place a dollar bill in between the door and stove close door and pull bill out do this all the way around door there should be resistants when you pull bill out if not you need a new door gasket

After all that if still not working try jumping the vacuum switch this is just for testing purposes if you can jump the vacuum switch and stove runs then that will tell you there is a vacuum problem or vacuum switch is bad.

Check to make sure your Thermistor is plugged in and that it is bolted snuggly on the exhaust blower box. Should be a white cloth covered wire. Plugged on your control board where it says Temp In. Other end is bolted on to the box the exhaust blower is mounted on.
