Have you thought about replacing the bearings? and use the dry moly

Not bearings, brass bushings. But will try dry moly next time.

Having problems with auger locking up on brass bushings.

It was suggested to try a product called Deoxit Fader F5 for dry or dirty bearings. It is actually meant for cleaning and lubricating control switches but a customer had a exh fan on a Harman PC45 that started squealing loud enough to wake the whole house. The stove is 11 years old. I didn't have a extra fan along so tried to squirt some of this product towards the bearing area in hopes it might work. Amazingly the noise quit so we ordered a new fan figuring it will be needed sooner then later. I got the fan but it has been 3 weeks and that stove has been purring like a kitten ever since.
I bought this product to renew the three rheostat type controls on this stoves control board and it worked on them but that was what this product is for. I really didn't expect it to work on the exh fan but it did. You can find it on Amazon or E-Bay for 13-14 dollars.
