I have a Quadrafire Mt Vernon pellet stove with a persistent problem with auger jam error messages. I have replaced the auger motor, cleaned the chute, cleaned the optical sensor and even replaced it. It seems about every 5-8 starts I hear a grinding sound and the auger jam error occurs. The auger itself looks fine; no bends in it. Please help.
 
Try different pellets. Did you pull auger to make sure something is not caught in it?
 
What year stove is it? kap
