Traeger auger not moving. Deep cleaning rewiring the fan replacing the controller deep. Particularly if you’re trying to get crispy skin on smoked chicken or smoked turkey! Depending on the reason for the faulty fan on your traeger grill, you can fix your grill fan through one of the following ways:
Remove the auger and roll it on a flat surface to see if. Unscrew the bolts holding the auger. In shut down mode the fan should run for about 10 minutes and the auger shouldn't run at all.
Traeger recommends removing the drip tray, grats, and baffle to inspect the auger. It sounds to me like the plugs for the fan and auger are switched. Unplug your grill and empty the hopper.
It happens for several reasons. If an auger is stuck in a traeger, the first thing you should do is turn off the grill and disconnect it from the power source. Make sure the traeger auger rolls smoothly.
The first reason could be that something is blocking the auger from turning. Remove the temperature controller from the hopper with a phillips head screwdriver. Old or poor quality pellets 04.
After not covering my traeger grill and my pellets inside the hopper soaking up rain the the last 2 days, my auger was jammed with moist packed pellets to the point it wouldn't turn anymore. If the auger is not working, it could be due to several different reasons. Then, roll it on the flat surface.
