I cleaned it out made sure their was nothing stuck started again. Stopped again once pellets were in. Why would this happen? I only have so many more days off I can use to try and fix this thing.
Is the auger not moving but the motor is turning? If this is the case the coupling between the auger and motor is likely not lined up right and the set screw isn't against the flat portion of the auger or motor shaft.
If the motor also isn't turning the auger could be way out of alignment such that any pellet jams the works up.
Check the instructions for replacing your auger motor and or auger.
