I purchased a Castile in 2008. I have had no problems with it until the end of the season last yea rand begin this year. I started to hear a weird noise when the auger was supposed to be feeding. I only heard it every once and a while at the end of last season.. however I've noticed it more and more...
Today I started to inspect the stove... figuring I need to clean the auger and hopper feed area... I opened the side and started the stove to observe the auger in action... typical of all mechanical things it performed flawlessly because it was being watched... I walked away and heard the noise again... shortly after I was watching the auger motor and realized that the noise was from the auger motor going in reverse... I check the trouble shooting of the Sept 2008 Owners Manual. I advised to check the wire connections... From what I observed all the connections appeared normal... Any suggestions or is it time for a new motor...
Thanks in advance... And I apoligize if I missed a previous thread with this issue. I search for away before posting.
