Possible Causes
Burned-out auger motor on Royal Gourmet pellet feed, Disconnected auger motor plug, Failed auger relay on control board, Broken motor lead wire
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before testing the motor.
Steps to diagnose:
- Check connector: Verify the auger motor plug is firmly connected to the control board.
- Test motor directly: If you are qualified, bench-test the auger motor with the correct AC voltage to see if it runs. If it does not, the motor is faulty.
- Measure voltage at board: During a feed cycle, measure AC voltage at the auger output terminals on the control board. If no voltage is present, the board or relay is faulty.
- Replace failed part: Replace the auger motor if it fails bench testing, or replace the main control board if it does not supply power to a known-good motor.
