The control board for this stove has an Auger on/off switch. This stove was given to me by a friend who ran it for years. The switch for the Auger was bad so we soldered on two pieces of wire to the back of the Control board to a new toggle switch. We used the stove for a little while, it ran fine. Then the toggle switch must of pressed against the metal door for the control board causing a little spark. The augar motor instantly stopped. I unplugged the wires to the augar motor, tested to see if power was going through the actuall control board, and it is. The motor will not run hooked up to the control board, but if I hook up an extension coard from the wall with spliced ends the motor runs fine. There is a little glass fuse on the back of the control board that is Not blown. The stove "starts up" and the combustion and distribution blowers work, but the augar will not.

Check the fuse even tho it is not brown. You could have blown the wire with out browning the fuse. Next get on the Internet and see if you can find a new control board and don't be changing or adding anything to it. Check with Whitfield for parts here is a web page.

Go on line and find the manufacturer's website. It should tell you how to get an owner's manual with a parts list.
