The Powersmart PSSW24 snowblower may not be throwing snow even though the front turns due to a clogged chute or auger. The manual mentions that snow and ice can become lodged in the chute assembly, preventing proper discharge. It is recommended to use the clean-out tool, which is fastened to the rear of the auger housing, to clear any blockages. Additionally, ensure that the auger blades and impeller are properly engaged and functioning.
