If that does not clear it, then remove the hose from the nipple on the Auger chute and use a toothpick or small wire to break up the fines that have accumulated and plugged it up.
The fines get plugged up in the nipple and prevent the vac switch from getting satisfied.
Clear the.blockage and all should be well.[/quote]
Well, I hate to hurt feelings, but DexterDay was absolutely right. This time I tried a length of light coat hanger wire and jabbed at it pretty good. It broke thru and it's running fine now. Not knowing what was back there, I didn't poke too hard on the first try. Didn't want to cause any more problems than I already had. New switch is back in its box and the house is nice and toasty - with the old switch doing its job.
Many thanks..............Lar.
