If the auger is jammed, remove it from its housing. Disconnect the motor and then remove the
four screws on the steel plate that holds the auger shaft to the auger housing. To have an

Once the auger has been removed, make sure the auger is straight, that the surface is not
damaged and there are no burrs, or broken welds. Remove any foreign material that may
