I'm pretty certain it's supposed to stop the auger motor when the ~~fire goes out~~ stove cools down.

But that must take effect after so much time -since the temp wouldn't be high enough at the start, so it could have a timer somewhere to ignore some shut-off signal to give time for it to warm up. I guess.

If it's a safety feature?... I don't think it is really.

Diagram?... See page 10 of this.

The wires I connected together were the 2 orange with the 1 yellow.

There is a thermodisc/sensor for the blower that will stop it if the temp gets too high.

eta: also, see page 9, Troubleshooting, 5.1, #4 I'll probably be needing to call the dealer.
