Why Replace Your Auger Motor?
The auger motor is one of the hardest-working parts of your feeder. If your blower is running but no food is being dispensed, or if you hear a clicking sound without any movement in the hopper, the auger motor likely needs replacement. Replacing the motor assembly restores the "metering" side of your feeder, ensuring your fish receive the exact amount of nutrition programmed into your timer.
Maintenance Tip: When installing your new motor, check the auger tube for any "caked" feed or debris. Cleaning the auger path ensures the new motor doesn't have to work against unnecessary resistance, significantly extending its lifespan.
