Pellet bin austroflamm integra

[Mtnman1]

I open my bin to fill the hopper and the feed shuts down, what is the best way to seal the bin so this will stop.
I had to buy a hotter running ton of pellets this year because I could not get my normal ones. People been stocking up thinking the words about to crash.

There's a safety switch on some stoves so you don't lose a finger in the auger. keep the lid closed.

This stove does not have that switch, I have been able to fill my hopper when it is running and this not happen. it has something to do with the bin seal.

Loss of vacuum. Probably a sign of things to come if things are getting that loose.

Does this stove even have a vacuum switch? I was thinking the mass airflow sensor on the air inlet pipe took the place of that function on the older Integra?

There is no hopper switch on the older models.
In the hopper inbetween the seams there should be a very narrow gasket less than a 1/16th of an inch wide. Sort of reminds me of screen spline.
It may be when you open the hopper it is creating a vacuum of sorts.

Or in the case of a mass sensor, to much flow via auger tube!?
