Auger motor stops after 10 seconds

[mrklec]

My auger motor stops after 10 seconds. Even when disconnected from the auger. Has anyone had this? If so was is the control board or motor?

It’s a PB1100PSC2 have had it for about 7 years now

Welcome from Texas to the group !
normal duty-cycle pulse pattern on startup or a pellet jam/overload conditionthat trips the system
Check these and if that’s okay it could definitely be the controller
Also make sure it’s clean

Thanks for you quick reply. I disconnected the motor from the auger. Same results. I think I will order a new controller

Was there a clog ?
If not that’s your best option

No clog auger moved freely with the motor detached

Appreciate it
Let me know how it does with the new controller
I’m curious how it works out

Question here, if I may:
If you disconnect the auger and the motor is still making the same pattern electrically, it might be that the motor is okay and the problem is a fault from the control board?
The electrical motor has no controls internally as far as I know, it's simply an electrical device that receives electricity (signals) via the control board. If the motor is in fact working, even in the way you don't want it to work, that means the motor is electrically good.
You might try to see if you have a manual feed option to see if manually feeding it will validate what I'm saying about the motor being good.
I’ve been an electrician for 50 years, that's my thoughts before you run out and buy the motor,
best of luck either. way!

How long is it "supposed " to run? I seem to remember my comp running for Astor 10 seconds and then waiting for the next "cycle"

Hi-
Can I ask what type of or what model of PitBoss grill do you have?
