We are a smokehouse in the Caribbean and our FEC100 is feeding pellets to quickly. I've replaced all of the relays and still the problem persists. And yes the reset button has be pressed. Any ideas welcome.
Thank you

How are determining this...ie, what is the end result? Are the temps higher than what you're setting them for? Pellets not burning properly? A little more info might help.
Pellet flow is determined by the control board, which cycles the auger motor every so often. I believe it's 18 second intervals. How old is the FEC100 and what version control board is it? When first turned on, the version number is displayed...V46, V78, etc
If you can't get resolution via the forum, call Cookshack customer service during normal business hours. Bill or Tony can offer you expert advise. They do not monitor these forums.
Good luck.

End Result: Pellets feed so fast they smother the fire
And fill and over flow into the bottom. We did
Replace the mother board with a newer version. I am not sure which version though.
I read CM161W.
Machine is from 2010 or 2011

Would a picture help?
Sounds like your pot/draft fan is not working. You will also need to clean the internal temp if that(the pot fan) is the problem and you replace the fan.
I just had this problem a couple comps ago.
Take the side cover off. Turn on the smoker and start it as if you were going to smoke something, the fan should then be running(its at the very bottom), if not give it a little spin and see if it starts.

I agree with Cal. I had posted a response in your other thread, but have since deleted it so we don't have 2 on the same topic.
This issue isn't the speed of the pellets it's the fire. It would handle a lot (think trying to set a heat like 375°) to get to a high heat.
If there isn't air moving across the fire (that's why there is a fan and holes in the firepot) then it won't have oxygen to burn.

Thank you all for your help. It was the fan. We unscrewed it and one of the wire was detached
Great. Your back in business.
