Pro Tips
- Get a second person to help when removing and reinstalling the auger box to prevent damage to the wire harness.
- All screws, unless otherwise noted, are 1/4-20 X 1/2" screws.
- Create a secure space to set aside hardware. As you remove hardware, keep them separated in groupings according to step.
Replacement Steps
- Prepare the Grill for Servicing
- Turn off and unplug the grill from the power source.
- Empty all the pellets from the hopper.
- Remove the Auger Box (Additional person recommended)
- Unplug the power cord from the auger box.
- While one person supports the auger box, remove the x4 screws from the underside of the grill.
Caution: The auger box will fall if not supported, and damage to wiring harnesses can occur!
Woodridge Elite: We recommend removing the back-left screw (inside the cabinet behind the auger box) first as it's the most difficult to see and access. - Slowly lower the auger box until the hopper wire harness is exposed. Detach the connector and remove the auger box from the grill.
- Install the New Auger Box
- With the help of a second person, hold the new auger box below the grill and reattach the hopper wiring harness.
- Lift the auger box up into the grill, ensuring that the hopper wiring harness is tucked into the cavity next to the hopper, and attach with the x4 new screws.
- Reattach the power cord to the auger box.
- Service Complete. Prime the auger and Traeger on.
