I’m at a loss here my friends. My Castile has had a series of issues. It was initially struggling/not feeding after initial start up and would wither out. I have bypassed and checked all 3 snap discs with no change. I have bypassed the vacuum switch as well as cleaned the tube, no change. I replaced the thermocouple even though I did not suspect it was the problem, no change(it is positioned correctly in the sleeve). I completely emptied the hopper and removed the auger. I bench tested the auger and found it was operating adequately. I checked the chimney for obstructions as well as the blower both are clear.
At this point it will start up and run. However it surges up and down. The fire will grow to a medium height(low for the high setting it’s on) and then it will slowly wither down to the point where it almost goes out. Then again it will feed enough pellets to bring the fire back before withering down again. All wiring connections seem tight and I am beginning to suspect the controller. All opinions are welcome.
