Hey everyone, I've got a freestanding Mt Vernon pellet stove that has been giving me an Auger Jam error. I've taken the assembly apart and cleaned everything out, including cleaning the optical sensor. I put everything back together and the stove ran (including the auger motor) for about 10 minutes and the error popped up again. I purchased a new motor from a local dealer and the stove ran for about an hour last night. Tried to restart this morning and the error pops up again. Any ideas on this?
 
Did you check the auger bearing? New gasket when reinstalling? Looks like there was a software update for vac switch problems and auger jam.

What year stove and what revision of control board do you have? kap
