Whitfield Advantage II-T Auger Motor Help

[lpedri]

Installed a new auger motor worked like a champ (1 night). Then I got a pellet jam. Cleaned it all out now motor turns on (can see the thing spinning on the back) but its shaft does not spin in or when I had it out of the stove? I am stumped

It probably took some teeth off the gear inside the box and thats not good. Gonna need another motor.

When get the auger out try painting it with graphite paint and some of tube. I have found that helps reduce the motors effort. What pellets are you attempting to burn?

The gear box on a pellet auger motor is quite complex, but not impossible to inspect piece for piece for any damaged parts. Here's a very detailed and thorough description on how to assemble an opened M&K auger gear box from a Whitfield stove:
