Slow Auger Feed on Harman P43

[hinkle]

As some others had mentioned as possible culprits... Had to run the auger in test about 20-30 times watching how the auger operates until this popped out.

If any others use this as I did I'll add like the OP did.

4am one morning I noticed the flame had almost died, I was dead tired so only turned the stove up and back to bed. Fire was out when I woke up. Tried to start again, very little pellets in the burn pot, once lit flames were only an inch tall, went out within an hour.

1. Cleaned the stove very thoroughly. - very few pellets and flame very small like before, died in an hour
2. ESP cleaned - did not try to light after.
3. Ran in test mode repeatedly.

Thanks everyone

Well that would certainly cause issues - and drive you nuts until it was found.

Could the feed rate pot be going bad?

To the OP, sounds like a wet bag of pellets was thrown in which caused the issue. This wluld be why the bag was dusty and pellet were odd (swelled) shape. I recently caught myself dumping in a bad bag. Had to shovel them out.
