This is VERY hard to answer without know more about what you mean and what model stove you have.
If by cycling you mean the auger dropping pellets, it could be that the auger is jammed or one of the safety features has engaged for some reason.
Years ago my auger jammed because of some defective pellets. If you hear the auger turning and no pellets are dropping, this may be your problem. I called the manufacturer and they explained there was a problem with a filtering screen that accidentally let out some large pieces. You may want to empty your stove and check to see if you have a jam.
If you do not hear your auger, it is more likely a safety feature. For this you will need to open up your stove. There are many things that could be involved. There are temperature limit switches, there may be some vacuum controls and such that could be involved as well. I would suggest taking a look and be sure all your vacuum lines are in place and all your wires are secured. Please not that some circuits in the stove remain on at all times. Be sure to unplug before you try anything.
If you do not get an answer that works, try adding a bit more details to the question so we can understand what is going on.
Good luck!
Thanks for the additional info: Here is what I can add.
By all means the Combustion Fan should be the very first item to start and very last item to stop. It should be turned on by the control board and shut off by a thermal switch. (The control board lets the unit run at a low temperature for a limited startup time. After the time is reached, the fans and auger operations are controll limited by thermal safety switches.) For curiosity sake, I would suggest seeing if the fan is 110v and if it is see if you can get it to run itself by jumpering 110v to it (removing the connections to the controller first).
But realistically, since the auger is not starting either, it sounds like a much more complicated issue. It may still be a safety feature but then again it may be your control board itself.
My last offer of advice would be that if you are using a remote thermostat (only some do, so this is truly a desperate attempt) disconnect it and put the jumper back in. This would eliminate your thermostat from the equation.
That is about all I can offer from this distance. I wish you good luck in your efforts.
