Hello
Has anyone seen this issue???
In this case we replaced this exhaust blower with a heavy duty high quality 1.75 amp exhaust blower with an impeller with tall petals and no base plate to eliminate dragon startup and it will never have a loose case because the larger magnetic plates will not fit in the smaller black case
Enjoy

You also have a bad auger seal. All that saw dust is getting sucked into the room air blower and sent thru the heat exchanger.

Yes the auger Bushing is on the way out. It is a Deltron but I wish there was a better Bushing that would fit. :-(
