Hey guys,

Sorry for what maybe a monotonous question, but I was cleaning the auger tube and end of auger when I noticed the auger it self slid back in the tube. I know the bearings are free floating, but I was able to grab the motor, and push/pull the assembly about 3/4in in and out of the tube. Ive chiseled at the auger before, never saw it move, and it has been squawking a lot more than usual lately. Seems the set screw is tight as I can pull on the motor and the auger comes with. Too cold to go in blind folded and down the stove. Any ideas?
 
There are 2 Allen type set screws on the Auger bearing as well. This holds the bearing to the auger. They might be loose.
