In my experience, even a new less expensive brush blazon auger motor will work well later on this handling but if you want the best and longest life from your motor, then go with the high quality ball bearing Gleason-Avery. Auger motors get weak due to crumbling windings where the laminations breakdown and crusade shorts in the wires, worn gears tin slip and skip in the gearbox and auger bearings wearable and then the motor shaft does not turn freely afterward years of use, so a new auger motor is highly recommended as the total cure for pellets not dropping. Multi-testers using the ohms scale just measure any resistance from one auger motor final to the other. Since we are checking continuity here measuring the resistance of the auger motor windings volition testify picayune difference betwixt a make new motor and a very one-time one. If any office of the coil wire is cleaved or open up the muti-tester will read infinity only the shaft will not turn in that example. Even if the weak auger runs at beginning upward, it may stop running when the stove heats up or with shorts in the windings the magnetic field may be much weaker causing it to take less torque and quit under load. That is a more than likely sign the auger motor needs replacemnt.
