So the snowblower worked yesterday great. Now today it has the sound that it wants the auger to work and it’s no longer spinning at all. Tried the controller. Tried everything. Shear pins are fine. Don’t tell me some belt or something is broken. When I spin it manually it moves so it’s not stuck

btw in my unit I have washer UNDER mount bracket at that corner. It was installed by factory. [image] That washer tune shaft angle. When angle is tuned right belt wont try travel edge to another when spinning it to different directions. Looks that in this picture [image] you dont have that wa…

That would explain it, Great catch. I’ve got a ticket open on this and am waiting for FSE’s advice, but I’ll see if I can’t play with some shims under that leg tomorrow when I get a chance. Great catch!

Hi there, because the purchase date falls outside the 60-day eligibility window, we’re sorry to share that the extended warranty providers, Xcotton and AIG, have rejected the request. We did attempt to escalate this matter further on your behalf, but unfortunately we were not able to receive a favo…

Hi there, because the purchase date falls outside the 60-day eligibility window, we’re sorry to share that the extended warranty providers, Xcotton and AIG, have rejected the request. It is good to know that Yarbo’s position is that even though there is clearly a design flaw causing snow blowers …

You are conflating the standard warranty with the extended warranty. Just because they have extended warranty guidlines that cannot be adjusted doesn’t mean they won’t support the standard warranty. It is reasonable to expect manufactuters to extend their standard warranty for defects, but this is …

They also are not responsible for the extended warranty. It’s provided by a third party and they don’t have any control over that parties terms and conditions are other than what was agreed upon in their initial contract. That third party can change any terms they want at any time (like how long y…

Bad design specs? mis-alignment of the pulleys bad pully design; who makes a pulley with sharp 90 degree edges for the belt edges to get shredded on?

There are also several other strange design choices in the snowblower itself. Regarding the pulleys, there absolutely should be a screw adjustment for alignment. In addition, the edges of the pulleys should be slightly more rounded. But when it comes to the motor failures, there are a couple of ver…

I would assume the belt will act as the main overload protection for the impeller, although someone has posted pictures of one of the paddles bending. The blower has been out a while and no one that I can tell has had any major failures of the impeller.

Motor bearings and magnets will blow up faster than belt. I already broke one and when I build diy blower I had same issue that glue at motor magnets are much weaker than belt.
