What causes the auger motor to make a bang sound against the stop. 2 year old stove and it just started doing it on occasion. The plastic bumper is still on the stop. It might bang once about every minute. TIA

I see three possibility
1 bumpers are worn out (Small rubber hose works good)
2 auger binding on bushings ( unlikely )
3 stops have been bent due to constant hammering
If bent gently bend them toward motor
I have seen one cause of them being bent
Also check the motor as the constant hits can put a hole in the metal casing
