Possible Causes

Failed auger motor, Jammed auger with hardened pellets, Sheared auger pin or stripped coupler

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the grill and ensure it is cool before accessing the auger.

  • Empty hopper: Remove pellets from the hopper to expose the auger intake.
  • Check for jam: Look for compacted pellets or foreign objects at the auger intake and remove them.
  • Inspect coupler/pin: Access the auger motor and verify the coupler or drive pin between motor and auger is intact. Replace if broken.
  • Test motor: With the auger disconnected, plug in the grill and start a feed cycle. If the motor does not turn, replace the auger motor.
