PS35 - Auger won't feed

[shep546]

Hey guys,

1 Year old Quadrafire PS35.

Worked fine last night this morning go to turn it on, the exhaust fan is blowing and the "call light" turns on but the auger won't move or feed.

I noticed when I put my hand near the exhaust fan I can feel cool air blowing from somewhere but the gasket seems intact, not sure if this is from the part of the fan that spins outside the exhaust area?

So far I have checked the fuses, and the thermal reset switches on the wiring, I cleaned the stove and vacuumed out the exhaust port.

I partially removed the auger to see if anything was jamming it up, seemed fine and I reinstalled.

I used my compressor to blow out the air line for the vacuum switch.

Still nothing, any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

When you had the auger out did you bench test it to see if it spins

This is the connector on the auger... not sure where I'd even get a female connector of that type to bench test it with?

Was the vacuum switch hose disconnected from the switch when you used compressor air? If not, you may have damaged the vac switch.

No I had the switch removed entirely when I blew the line out towards the combustion chamber.

Snap disc #2? Hopper lid switch?
