Which of the three snap discs did you replace? Proof of fire snap? There is also a blower snap disc. Have you confirmed whether that is still functional. Check the Over temp snap has not been triggered? Usually the over temp snap would not allow the auger to turn. I would also check your vacuum switch wiring connections (tubing connection also) as it appears the proof of fire is feed off the same line.
Remember to unplug while working in the cabinet....

the auger is working , but the blowers arent , and its not flashing any codes , kinda has me baffled , fire snap , and there was another on the convection blower that has a reset button in the middle of it , i replaced both of those , where would the 3rd one be?

page 25, wiring shows 3 snap discs. May have to follow the wires... Are you sure you replaced the correct snap? Can do temporary by-pass to troubleshoot the snap discs but do not run with bypasses in place.

How old is the stove? Only owner or was it purchased used? On a surge protector?

Sounds like you got that figured out ... proof of fire snap! You're getting there
The manual says you can clean it but likely better to replace. While you have the insert pulled out, have you cleaned the exhaust pathways and venting? Good to get a fresh start all the way around!
