When it comes to installing an auger motor, the process involves removing the 4 screws that hold the bottom grate under the hopper, removing the 1/4-inch bushing screw that secures the auger to the grill frame, and then using a 5-16-inch socket wrench to remove the shear pin to free the auger from the auger motor. Once the auger is free, the old auger motor can be disconnected, and the replacement auger motor can be connected.

It is normal for the auger motor to sway or rock at times, as some movement is expected as the auger turns to feed pellets through the auger shaft. To check for abnormal auger motor behavior, you should locate the small fan blade on the back of the auger drive motor and, with the switch turned off, turn the switch on. If the fan blade does not turn, the auger drive motor is defective and will need to be replaced.

If the fan blade turns but then stops, continue watching and turn the switch off. If the fan blade unwinds slightly, this indicates a jam in the auger system that will need to be cleared. In this case, you should turn the switch off, disconnect the power cord, and remove the pellets from the pellet hopper to check for foreign objects or wet or decomposed pellets that may be causing the jam.

The auger motor is a crucial component in a pellet grill, as it provides the power to move the pellets from the hopper to the firepot during cooking. The Village Smoker auger motor is designed for use with Traeger, Pit Boss, Camp Chef, and Z Grill pellet grills, with a rotation of 2.0 RPM and 120V, 60Hz power. It features an upgraded 2.0 RPM auger motor wire made of UL1332/18AWG PEP material, which is specially designed for high voltage and high-temperature resistance to make the auger motor more durable and resistant to high temperatures.

When it comes to compatibility, the Village Smoker auger motor is designed to fit Traeger pellet grills manufactured after 2006, as well as most Pit Boss, Camp Chef, and Z Grill pellet grill models. It is important to check your grill model when purchasing a replacement auger motor to ensure a proper fit.

Overall, the Village Smoker auger motor is a reliable and durable replacement part that can help keep your pellet grill running smoothly. If you have any questions or concerns about your grill, the company encourages you to contact them through Amazon for assistance.
