I have an original Mt Vernon Quadrafire free standing pellet stove. Not the AE model. We just had a power outage for about 30 minutes. During the outage my pellet stove was running and burning beautifully. Once the power came back on, I restarted it and now cannot get pellets to drop. Everything else seems to be working fine but the auger isnt moving. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jeff

I do not. However after reading through a bunch of old q/a I saw a mention of a snap disc #2 and since it shut down while it was burning it never was able to let the heat out so I'm guessing it got too hot and the disc popped. Its all fixed now. Thank you
Time for a surge protector no matter if you reset it or not. One voltage spike (which is common after an outage) and your control board will be toast. Running any electronically controlled anything (computer, stove, anything on line power without a in the circuit surge protector is begging for a toast job. Spend the 30 bucks and get one or drop a couple hundred on a new control board or a couple grand on a new computer. Your call but I know what I'd do (and did long ago).
