What types of things can I test before installing the stove to ensure some of the major parts are working?
I plugged it in and turned it on. the fan was working. I followed the priming instructions and the auger was dropping pellets. How would I know if the control board or other parts are bad?

If you have seen my other post - you will note that it is a 1992 Whitfield WP2 Advantage insert used for about
10 years - stored for 4. The glass in the door is gone (working on that) so starting an actual fire would be challenging
Thanks.
