through a port on the rear of the feeder. Poor draft will result in an interruption of power to the feeder motor. Poor
draft can be caused by blockage in the exhaust, excessive build-up on the combustion blower fan blades, a failed
combustionblower,oradoororotheropeningtothereboxnotsealedproperly.Thehopperlidpositionswitch,
located in the right rear corner of the hopper opening, will also interrupt power to the feeder if the hopper lid is not
closed properly. The circuit board is monitoring the position of these switches. During a feed cycle, if either of these
switches were to open, the feed motor light on the control will stay illuminated with the power being interrupted
by the switch. If the switch opens when the cycle is at rest, the power light for the feed motor will not illuminate.
Be sure all doors, including the hopper lid, are securely closed when operating the appliance.
