I replaced my auger motor, first time in 14 years, on my whitfield advantage stove, serial wh-85565. My question now is if I have to check the auger speeds that my control board sends out and where do I find them. The stove appears to be running ok, but burn rate is not as good. i know part of it is that I ran out of my normal pellets, New Englands, and have had to burn other brands. But BTU on same setting are very much lower, IE: 10 degrees cooler on same setting with New England. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tim

there is only one speed of the auger and the motor is 1RPM
it is the Feed off and on times that change the feed rate
The large PDF file on my website has all the feed times for each kind of stove
 
Thank you for that, I did find that and have printed same. If i set position 1 will it automatically adjust for all positions. I guess in time i will have to spend the $300 and upgrade to the solid state, but for now I have the rotary controls and 3 pots on the side. Any idea what each does. They are verticle, I assume, one is for fan control , one is for auger time but I don't know what the 3rd on is for.

The trim pots for for the low setting and thermostat LOW mode
one for the low auger fee
combustion blower speed
and convection blower speed.
for low mode only
best to leave at the 12 oclock position
