St Croix Prescott model and manufactured date difference.

I picked up a used 2006 St Croix Prescott this past February for a good deal. It runs great but since it’s used I’m concerned of eventual failing parts. I recently found another used Prescott locally for $300. I was thinking of buying it for backup parts. Or just to have a second unit. Says it needs a new auger motor. My question is are the parts compatible between the two? The 2006 is a Prescott EXP and the other I’m thinking of buying is a 2004 EXL. They look identical except the bases of coarse. I was wondering if the fans/motors, circuit boards, auger, verse grate, etc. are the same.

Thanks

Correction. The Prescott I currently have is a 2009 not a 2006. So are the parts on a 2004 Prescott interchangeable with a 2009 Prescott?

Most parts should be the same. Control boards may be different and that's obvious from looking at control panel membrane. Personally I think the Prescott is a wonderful stove. Efficient, very l oi w maintenance and reliable.

The unit with bad auger may just need lube on top auger bushing which dry out from the heat and seize.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.
