Having a hard time trouble shooting a Summers Heat 55 SHP22 (englander 25 PDV). Not getting any error codes. Starts up fine, burns for awhile then the top auger stops it's intermittent turning cycle then shuts down due to no pellet feeding. Vacuum switch hose was cracked so I trimmed it back, blew out line going into combustion fan chamber, tested vacuum switch, seems fine, by passed hopper lid safety switch and still haven't resolved the issue. What am I missing here. Replaced combustion blower about 2 weeks ago was working fine. Sometimes the auger will start feeding pellets again before it completely dies out. TIA

Check for air leaks around the door. Those stoves tend to have a weak vacuum to start with new. Dollar bill test the door and let us know.

Feeling the Heat
Short of what Ssyko suggested. how old is the stove? Sometimes the motors get weak or overheat, although it is typically the bottom one that runs all the time. I'm in the habit of swapping motors every year from top to bottom to help even out the work load, if you will.
