THE FOLLOWING TESTS. Disconnect the
motor and then remove the four screws on
the steel plate that holds the auger shaft to
the auger housing. To have an easier access,
remove the rear panel for an easier access.
Pull out the auger from the housing. Once the
auger has been removed, make sure the
auger is straight, that the surface is not
damaged and there are no burrs, or broken
welds. Remove any foreign material that may
have caused the jam. Inspect the auger
housing for signs of damage such as burrs,
rough spots, or grooves cut into the metal
that could have caused a jam. Clean the
auger housing thoroughly to remove all pellet
dust.
