I have a Pelpro pp130. The unit is about a year old and doesn't get used except weekends during the winter months. Last week the auger jammed and sheared the clip off that holds the auger to the motor. I got a new auger assembly and put it in this morning. The stove started fine and burned for a few minutes then stopped feeding. Upon further inspection the auger was trying to spin backwards at that point. I ordered a new circuit board which was the only thing I could come up with. Anyone have any advice?

You sure you got the correct auger motor? Control board will not change the direction of the motor.
It went through the initial empty hopper feed cycle and fired up. Then it quit feeding and started spinning the wrong direction.

Sounds like the capacitor that is in the circuit failed. It’s a small square attached to the wires in the connector. When they fail motor will reverse direction. Should have numbers like 393. 407 or similar on it.
