The auger has started making a noise this season during start up preps. This is on a Quadrafire 1200i (2003). Is cleaned and maintained regularly. Noticed when the auger runs it sounds similar to a can opener. It does run in the clockwise direction all the time (no reversing). Never had a clog or abundance of dust/fines with the auger
Stove is our only source of heat and has performed great. Stove still goes thru the normal cycle and seems to function normally except for this new noise.
Does this mean the auger motor is going? I would hate to have this go out in the middle of winter and be on back order.
Thanks so much for your input.
