Also in initial startup the auger runs, as it normally does, but then after it shuts off the auger only comes on for a second or two.... From one issue to the next....ughhhh

Can have a bit more of a clink etc now that it not being muffled by all the fines. Auger doing a few short cycles has been discussed and is normal with some board programming.
Just ever recall the clink and it's when it hits the auger motor.. Short blips of the auger turning on could be a board dip switch problem... Should I put the switches the same as my old board

I would just leave well enough alone unless another issue. Helps with any possible burn back issue. Our stove does the same thing.
That is the slide plate. It allows the pellets to drop into the auger tube. If you have never cleaned that fines box in 6 years that is a problem. There could be fines jammed everywhere. The best way to make sure the slide plate is working properly is to empty the hopper, take the fines box cover back off, lift the mechanical arm until you can slide the slide plate right out. BE CAREFUL there is a right side up and down to the slide plate. How aggressive were you in the cleaning of the fines box? Was it full?
Thanks
I fixed the noise because the slide plate was not connected back to the plate in the fine box. Must of disconnected when I cleaned it and it was full!! Funny thing is I had a outfit here clean the stove recently that never open or cleaned that box out. So now it is feeding pellets to the hopper but after initial start up the auger only gets on for a second and stops...Burn pot filling up with pellets but not igniting... Auger still turns on for a second and stops...Thanks
Stupid question. If I connect the esp probe backward on the control board would that be a issue... Just double checking
Yes I did get in
yes I did and I set the dip switches to the p68 with a 6 rpm auger... Different from what the switches were set with my original board
I may be back to my original issue when I had the outfit clean the stove. Igniter would not lite and I was having problem even trying to start up the stove in Manuel mode with some gel
Will the stove light now in stove temp manual and stay lit?
At some point I've got to do my job here today so if my responses become delayed its because I actually have to get something done
Ok..thank youWill the stove light now in stove temp manual and stay lit?

! I understand... I need to go back to work also...we have made some progress... I am going to try stove temp in Manuel mode...if this doesn't work I we be back at it tonight....
OK....Ok..thank you
so your dip switches are set at off,off,on,off,on,off,on,on? Correct?
No...that's not what the paper said on, off, on, off, on, on, on, on..old board was off,off,off, off, on, off, on, on
Just tried your switch settings and auger does same thing..below is the sheet they sent me with the board
