    First time poster here hope it makes sense: I have inherited the maintenance and service calls for Moms RV80 whenever it won't light or there is a code thrown.

    Stove Auger has a “Reeling” Sound?

    Hi all. Anyone know what this might be? My 5 year old USSC 5660 pellet stove just started to have this “reeling” sound from the auger from time to time. I’m guessing this is when it’s dropping fuel down into the burn pot. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
