auger is jammed(newspaper)how to solve-unjam same???
My Snow blower doesn’t start. The battery is full and everything else is running.
The issue may be with the auger, not the battery. If the battery is fully charged and other components like the chute motor and lights are working, the auger might be experiencing resistance or mechanical failure. It could be worn rubber plates, a blockage, or damage preventing it from moving. Additionally, if the snow is very heavy or wet, the machine may stop due to excessive resistance. Checking and replacing worn rubber plates, clearing blockages, and ensuring the auger is free to move may resolve the issue.

@Mr. Anderson
The battery is fully charged, the chute and lights work, but the motor won't start even after following all the instructions to get it going.
Possible reasons the motor won't start on the SNOWJOE iON18SB despite a fully charged battery and functional chute and lights include:
1. Thermal Breaker Issue – The thermal breaker on the motor circuit may need to be replaced.
2. Motor Brushes Failure – If the motor has brushes, they might be damaged or worn out. In some cases, brush holders can melt, preventing operation.
3. Mechanical Blockage – Even if no snow is clogging the auger, internal components might be obstructed.
4. Electrical Fault – There could be an internal wiring or component failure affecting the motor.
5. Increased Engine Load – Damaged rubber parts may increase resistance and prevent the motor from running.
If troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, submitting a warranty claim may be necessary.

@Mr. Anderson I bought it a year ago, used it once this winter and I don’t have the receipt. Can I still ask for the guarantee?
