Hello:
Anyone have experience with an enviro M55 auger motor making noise? After a few trouble free years, ours just started making a very light rattling/jingling type noise (hard to describe!). It sounds like a loose piece of metal lightly hitting or vibrating against other metal - every time the motor spins. I cleaned out the hopper (no change) and the auger feels solid as far as bearings. Below, everything looks and feels clean and solid and if I hold my finger against the bottom spinning shaft - below the motor - I can decrease the sound. It sounds like very light metal on metal type noise, but is not grating or grinding. Is there any service or lubrication that can be done to the motor?
Any suggestions on motor replacement, good prices, OEM vs after market?
thanks for any insights
