Odd Noise When Stove Starts Up

[Cobalt]

So hello everyone. Here I am again with my yearly question as something always seems to pop up but this seems to be a small but annoying issue. I did a nice cleaning off my stove and it fired up and has been working great for me. After about 5-6 start ups though I am hearing a weird noise when it first starts up in the morning. Have you never heard a Dr. give a ultra-sound to a pregnant woman? That weird sound it makes. Well that is what I actually sounds like. I'm thinking it has something to do with the mechanism that pushes out the pellets but I really don't know. Any ideas? Thanks.

Here is a file of the sound. About 10 seconds in there is a crash. That is not the stove. Just a new kitty.

It is a 2012 Mr. Vernon AE. I should add that it's a Quadra Fire.

Sounds like an auger motor bearing binding up.

Would that mean a new motor or is it something that could be lubricated? Thank You.

I did get some oil in there and not a peep since.

These are sealed units, so oiling will only get you by for a while. kap
