check the fuse on the control board it is a 5 amp fuse. Open the bottom of the hopper and look at the back of the controller for the fuse.

Check all the wires and make sure their is not wires melted touching any metal. Also I know this is a difficult but your auger maybe jammed up and that will cause a blown fuse.
