Bought a 4 year old stove and been running for 2 years now. Primarily run on stove temp around 2 or 3. Now the feed motor doesn't want to kick on sometimes. Fire dies down randomly, occaisionally going out. When it does go out, coal is completely burned on grates and as far back as possible. Feed motor is not engaging at all, no light, no motion, no indication of it working at all.

Most times, the feed motor works no problem, and when it is not feeding properly, I turn to test mode and feed motor pushes coal no problem. Wondering if it's a board issue. Any suggestions?

Have you cleaned out the fines drawer? How about that little filter?
