Constant Run - no smoke

[Bama Bart]

Recently my PBV4 started running hot and burning up the pellets. Fan won't stop on full blow and eventually it gets too hot and no smoke. Do I have a bad thermo sensor or computer? Anything I can do to get it to modulate again? Cleaned the temp sensor well inside but didn't seem to help. Its like a constant blow torch in the fire pot and has even started spreading fire into the auger tube. Thank you.

Welcome from Texas to the group!
Try emptying out the hopper and sift pellets through a colander and start over.
Hopefully you don’t have a bad controller
Let me know if that works

Will give that a try and let you know what happens.

Definitely sounds like the digital temperature probe is stuck.
