My St. Croix Hastings pellet stove is not working. Last Sunday morning I noticed some pellets had burned in the hopper. I added more pellets and ran the stove like normal. It made a squeaking sound. On monday it stopped working. When I turn it on it stays on for 10 seconds and shuts off automatically. I have cleaned the stove thoroughly. The auger does not turn at all. Could it be the auger motor is bad? Or maybe something wrong with the control panel?

st croix has manuals on there site. if you post the model info for your pellet stove someone may be able to help further.

Try using a smaller-size pellet, and make sure your pellets' moisture content is not elevated.

Gibraltar makes coal, pellet and wood stoves. Stoves that burn wood pellets have a hopper and feeder auger that feeds pellets into the burning chamber. They also require electricity to work. From what I read online you should be able to burn wood in the stove but I believe the coal stoves have a smaller burning chamber.

Hi, Check to see if vents are free of debree (spider webs etc...) Clean fan if necessary. Also try a different pellet some pellets will burn hotter. Good Luck.

your either burnig the wrong type of fuel, or the fuel you are burning is wet, not burning hot enough resulting in cloudy door

Had the same problem which I discovered this weekend..........

I have an eleven year old Afton Bay....the versa grate was not moving. I look into the inner workings of the stove and saw a bracket which had broken off....

The bracket was attached to the versa grate rod and made contact with the cam system in the stove...this is what moves the versa grate...........

I called my dealer, the part costs about $12.00 and looks like it can be replaced with out having a service guy come out..........

Hope this helps

ignitior is bad ....
