I have been reading and suspect that my control board is fried! When ever I set the the speed to any setting except 1, the auger continually runs and the light stays on. On 1 it doe's not turn the auger at all. Before it would pause and the light would go out, moderating the amount of pellets it would ferry down the chute. The higher the setting the less pause. I took a pic of the control board. Not sure where to find the model number yet.
