Why won't my snowblower chute turn?
less than a minute readJun 04Lyle Weischwill
If you're wondering "How do I fix my snowblower chute?" we have the answers.
Clear the snowblower chute if snow build-up prevents the chute from turning. Inspect the drive mechanism of the chute direction system and remove any foreign objects caught in the drive system.
If the drive system is clear, adjust the cable, shaft or gears that move the chute. Replace the chute control box or 4-way chute control assembly if those components won't turn the chute. Our video on how to troubleshoot snowblower chute problems also has tips to help fix the problem.
