Install Instructions For Traeger Replacement Auger Assembly Kit for the Junior elite 20, Tailgater & Bronson (KIT0053) SUB023

Auger shafts can often bind up inside the feed tube if they become warped. This can happen if the pellets in the feed tube become wet. To verify if you warped, remove the shaft and roll it across a flat surface. If it is warped, you will notice the slight bend as it rolls.1) DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.

2) CAUTION! If the Grill is still hot, allow it to thoroughly cool.

3) Remove any covers necessary to access the Auger Drive Motor.

4) Remove the screw connecting the Auger Drive Motor shaft to the Auger shaft and the screw retaining the Auger Bushing into the Auger Tube.

5) With a small pipe wrench or locking pliers on the Auger shaft, turn the Auger counterclockwise. It will turn hard until it breaks free, then the Auger will turn freely.

6) Remove the Auger and clean all Pellets, ash or foreign objects from the Auger, Auger Tube, and Firepot. (See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash in Section Five)

7) Sand the outside surfaces of the auger with medium grit sandpaper. Check the inside of the Auger Tube and sand it if needed. Vacuum the sanding grit out of the Auger Tube and Firepot when finished. Check that the Auger rotates freely.

8) Re-attach the Auger shaft to the Auger Drive Motor shaft.

Happy happy

I have an old Junior Elite 20 Treager and needed a part that I thought would be very hard to find. After some searching Stove & Grill Parts for Less had it. The ordering and shipping process was a breeze and I am back up and running.

Tragger auger

It is a bit tight, and creaks as its distributes the pellets.
But, it works, you had it, got it to me in a very reasonable time, cost was fair.
Beat the heck out of the tragger company. They suck!
Thanks

  • What would be some of the reasons to replace the Auger? My auger binds on each revolution, always at the exact same place, if I physically move the augers it will rotate on turn until it comes to the same spot. and it binds again. I have already cleaned the auger and the feeder tube.

    If you remove the auger assembly and separate the auger shaft you'll want to inspect it for a curve or bend, the shaft itself should roll on a flat surface smoothly. IF it has a bend or curve in will bounce. If the auger looks good, inspect the feed tube for an obstruction on the sidewall. If both of those are okay, you may have a broken gear in your auger motor.
