help fixing 2 IQ5 FEC 120 pellet grills

I have 2 iq5's that i am fixing for a friend that have been in storage for a while.

Hank starts up and i can start a cook program, all the fans are going, 240v is going to the ignitor but thats not heating utp. But i have replaced lots of ignitors before, and it is getting 240v. But the auger motor is not moving and i cannot measure any voltage accross it. Can anyone suggest the first place to start? These are my first IQ5's to fix.

The 2nd iq5 Patsy she starts, and i can start a program, but nothing happens. No fans and no auger.

You are going to need to test the circuit board components and paths. A digital multimeter will be of great help. If you can identify the individual components with their printed name you can research each for their respective specs. Other than that maybe a computer repair shop can help.

I have a DM, and i have downloaded the circuit diagram. I was wondering if the hopper switch could be faulty and preventing the auger from running because i cant see any voltage accross the auger connectors on the board

Check the switch for continuity.

Interesting, the hopper switch on both iq5s works fine when I disconnect them both. But on Hank, where everything seems to come on, the switch is shorted when I connect the cables back to the hooper switch. I can't see if anyone has bypassed it, but I have not looked specifically for that. I am going to check to see if it has 115v accross it.
