king PK130 which thru wall exh pipe kit to buy?

the auger will not pull out the top as expected, the auger shaft is messed up where the spring clip got mangled., it will not pass through the bottom bearing. I'm about to cut the damaged bottom part of the auger shaft off. I'll need a replacement auger.
maybe clean it up with a file first.

Shoot. Boy, you are going to know every inch of that thing. I didn't do a good job helping you troubleshoot awhile back. I believe you said you measured 120V on the motor and it wasn't turning. Without measuring current also, that is not the best test. As someone said, these tiny HP motors are high impedance and can stall. If you don't smell smoke, or see melting plastic it's hard to know that it's stalled. A bad gearbox or jammed auger will stop the motor. Those motors should be tested with a fused 120V jumper. They only draw less than an amp.

too late, the motor is out of there.
im trying to solve why the auger was jammed, the new motor was not moving it. the spring clip sheared so it was bound up.

im trying to extract the auger to clean up the shaft, see if its true or bent.

well, I gave up trying to extract the auger for now, i got it freed up and oiled the bottom bushing a bit.
I think I'm gonna reinstall the motor and see if it spins.
my back is killin me.
