How to remove auger motor Accentra FS?

RKS130 · Sep 26, 2015

Without going into the entire sorry tale, suffice it to say I am on my own to replace the auger motor on my post 2009 Accentra FS. Only problem is I can't figure out how the motor is attached so I can remove it, test it and replace if, assuming I am right, needed. It can't be that big a deal but I just can't figure it out. Help please.

Hang tight someone will offer help soon. I have not messed with one yet so I'm little help but use the search bar above and read up on threads on it. These stoves are pretty easy to work on. The motor is on the back and just unbolts. Look at your manual for the diagrams.

Their are plenty of people here that have replaced them so hopefully they will chime in. Good Luck. It's not as bad as you think so no need to get stressed.

There is a 7/16 hex screw on the back side of the cast assembly which holds the slave bearing...the contraption between the auger motor and the auger itself. Give that a full turn and then grab the motor and pull. There is a stabilizing bracket attached to the motor that will slide off a pin but stays on the motor casing.
Sometimes to have to wiggle and pull at the same time. Oh and disconnect the wires going to it and snip any zip ties that may be using the motor as an anchoring point for other wires

When you get it out ,carefully open it up and repack the gears with some good grease. The factory grease gets pushed away from the gears and isn't doing much lubing. Clean the auger if you go that far. It is a source of a grind or squeal over time. You may need to tap it out from the front. I used a wooden dowel on the auger and tapped it out with a couple of taps with a hammer.

A picture or two as you go will help in reassembling

Many thanks to all who gave their insight. Will give it a crack this week!

Many thanks for the detailed information. MIssion accomplished, old motor removed and tested (there was also a jam which ended up in stripped gears), new motor ordered and repair to follow in short order.

Unfortunately I have had some health issues (all good now) which have delayed my doing what needs to be done. BUT . . . looks like this will be resolved in time for the cold weather. Very grateful for the help.
