I’ve started to get this vibration from the auger / feed system since running my stove 24/7. After pulling the panels off I can feel some movement in the motor causing the vibration. My question; is there supposed to be some play with the auger motor?

EDIT: Just looked a little closer, its just the motor that vibrates and the bolts dont seem to be loose.
 
I'm in the middle of ripping mine apart. I posted about it today. there is a little play with the motor. Near the circuit board there's a butterfly screw.
pull that panel off mine was packed with dust.
 
Just cleaned everything and checked that door for fines build up, it was pretty empty. The noise/rattle sound during the auger movement is definitely coming from the motor. Now I just have to decide if it’s within the normal amount it’s supposed to have and with the noise
 
Just got mine running again. The auger is less noisy than the dist blower. Pellets falling from the hopper are louder than the auger. Hope that helps.
