Humming noise from auger motor P68

[Waterworker123]

I have a humming noise coming from the auger?I keep the burn pot clean. It doesn't happen all the time but enough to notice. I consider myself still a newbie when it comes to my stove.

My accentra will make a humming noise every so often when it's running but it's very short and not often probubly normal but keep an eye on it.

Thanks, I'm hoping that it's nothing. Like I said, I'm a newbie @ this.

Is the noise that your hearing when the auger is shutting down.thats when I hear the humming noise in mine

 

[Waterworker123]

No, it seems like when it feeds for a couple of seconds. I took the rear panel of and watch it. I was wondering were the humming was coming from.

Does it sound like a "rotisserie" motor ??

No, just a quick little hum

I would let the stove break in if the noise gets worse have the the dealer look at it.its under warranty no worries mate.

That makes a lot of sense.

They all hum. It's a shaded pole synchronous motor so the hum you hear is the 60 cycle per second resonance of alternating current in the field laminations. Best part is it's cheap to build, infinitely variable is speed and sinple as a block of wood to build or rebuild. Nothing to wear out except the end bearings and unlike most motors they will last indefinitely with a locked rotor (armature).

No problem. Been paying with this stuff for at least 25 years.... Got started back before it was mainstream because I'm inherently cheap.
