Long time reader, first time poster..
So here is my problem. I own an Accentra Freestanding purchased in October of 2005. The stove recently shut down in the middle of the night with no error message. I figured it was a feeder jam and unclogged the auger. Stove ran for 3 days then stopped feeding pellets again. No error message. Opened the back up again. No clog, motor would not turn in test mode. Diagnosed as a blown motor. Purchased a new one from the dealer, replaced it. When I first put it in and went to adjust the sprocket, the motor turned on when in test mode. Moved everything back into place, thinking the stove was going to work.. No dice. Ran a test, the motor did not run. The light for the feed motor comes on when I test. What should I do next? I am ready to throw in the towel and pay somone to work on the stove.. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Oh yeah, after I replaced the "blown" motor and after realized the new one is now not running, I tested the old motor using an old cord and it worked! Guess I have a back-up if I can get my stove running again..
