2006 Quadra Fire Castille insert. Red light is on. Igniter lights. Blue light flashes. Jumped vacuum switch and snap disk #2. Still no pellet feed. I ran a 110V power lead to the feed motor and it feeds pellets. I pulled the right plate in front of the exhaust port and there is strong air flow. What should I try next?

Update, this started after I cleaned the fire box. When I started the fireplace it over filled the pot with pellets. I cleaned out the pellets and now the unit won't feed pellets.
 
With the stove on and the vacuum switch and Disc 2 bypassed. There is no power from the control board. This means new control board needed or a disconnected or broken wire.
A full pot of pellets on start-up indicates control board also.
