Happened upon an old Dovetec corn burner. Thought I'd give it a try and see if maybe I could get going for a garage or barn. I have an owners manual (surprise) but could sure use a wiring diagram. I know there's not much to them but I see it has a heat sensor. I'm guessing that's to turn on room fan. I also see up inside another sensor/switch for I think hopper? Currently, when plugged in I can switch combustion motor to run. The switch for auger is an " old on/off for so many seconds switch". I can not get auger to run but I'm thinking it is because of the heat sensor switch. I'm also guessing the room blower motor will not run until the heat sensor switch is made. Anyone know what the switch up towards auger/hopper tunnel is and what it controls?
 
More than likely it is a resetable thermal disc. It controls power to the stove.
