What bottom auger motor would you buy for an Englander 25pdvc

[Margo]

I cleaned out the augers yesterday ran the stove for a couple of hours and it went out. I noticed it wasn't feeding pellets and somehow figured out the bottom auger wasn't rotating. I don't know if you're supposed to do this but from what I've read both motors are the same. I swapped the motors and it rotates like it supposed to. I looked closer and noticed the wire from the coil is burned and broken obviously the problem. Is there something I did to cause this or just one of those things?

There's been several threads about where and what kind of motor to buy. I don't want to have to flip the stack or solder leads on. Which one do I buy? A link to the exact one would be great. I have this page bookmarked but I'm not sure of which one.(broken link removed to http://www.gleasonavery.com/catalog/pellet-corn-stove-motors.html) I'm thinking of just replacing them both and keeping the other for a backup so less expensive would be better.

Looks like you got something to close and caused the short. I would get a good light and do a good inspection of the stove to see if you can track down where the short happened. Good luck

If my PDVC was in the house and not the workshop I`d definitely change the bottom auger to a Gleason Avery. The Merkel Korff OEM ones work fine on the top auger , maybe because they are rated only for intermittent duty anyway.

Thanks Jim, I ordered 2 of these today. It was $133 with free shipping!

I agree. Its just weird that the stove ran for 3 hours then shorted out. It is a 7 year old stove that runs for around 4-5 months straight so it was probably time to replace them anyway.
