Help!! We have a Whitfield Advantage stove that has run perfect for 10 years. Now we cannot get it to work. We cleaned everthing-seals, vent, chimney, etc. We tried to jump low limit switch to see if this was the casue of the auger not moving, and replaced the pressure switch. There was power , the motor is fine auger is not jammed, etc.. Jumped the pressure switch, the auger moves. If the pressure switch, a new one was hooked up, the auger still didn't move. Now there is smoke bellowing out from the pipes, with a roaring flame in the pot once the pellets feed. Is this because the pressure switch is jumped. Again , no blockage in the pipes. At a loss for how to repair. No one can come out for 30-60 days!! Any suggestions. Thanks Martha
