    Hello
    Stove stopped feeding pellets
    Looked everywhere for that ash door cleanout cover, then emptied out the hopper! There it is!
    The auger motor leaked grease all over, and the output shaft does not turn with AC motor, but turns easily by hand!!
    The auger motor large gear connected to the output shaft is stripped and does not engage the smaller gears at all! See Red Arrow below!
    Removed and Cleaned auger and installed a new auger motor
    See pics below
