The noise you are hearing can be two things, 1, sawdust from pellets building up in the bottom of the hopper and causing a deep squeak and some times causing the auger shaft to stop turning. 2, Or it is possible that you may have a broken gear in the gear box of the auger motor if this is the case you are hearing the broken gear tooth and when the cycle comes to that tooth it can stop the feed of the pellets..there are several gears in each gear box. I would suggest removing the auger motor from the auger shaft and laying it down on the back base of the stove with the two wires to the motor still attached now start the stove and see if the auger works or is making noise...clean out the hopper and vac. out the bottom of the hopper. Reverse process to reinstal.
