Why does my ice auger want to keep spinning and wont stop when you pull the cord it turns the auger

Take a look at your ice maker. Look for ice that is causing the auger motor to run. Clear the ice and try again.

Not sure how long you have owned this machine but the auger does not turn fast. It 's job is to chop up the snow and push it back to the impeller. The impeller is the round plate in back of the augers that actually throws the snow out the chute. That turns fast. Check to be sure the shear pins are not broken. Shut the machine off. Wait for the augers to stop spinning and then try to turn the augers by hand. If they spin on the shaft then the shear pins are broken-replace them by using original equipment shear pins.

Could be that the gearing on augur is tripped and that is why it stops.

Hi, Remove the ice bin. With the freezer door open, push the door button and then push the ice dispener button to see if the auger motor is turning. If it does turn, check and see if there is something in the ice bn blocking the auger.
Please try this and let me knwo.

Thanks

turn down the idle . if carb is set right it should idle and bit shouldn't turn until give it gas with the hand throttle. I have know problem with mine. I start it by myself all the time.

take the ice bin completely out and run water in it until all the ice is clear from the auger

Hi, I figured out the problem. The gear transfer case between the augers must be broke. The auger spins slowly until it hits snow and then stops-- The discharge fan continues to spin fast. I will try to get a local handyman to fix it or else but a new machine, this one must be at least 15-16 years old.
I thank you for your help, it is a great service. ojohn
