What to do if Ariens 921046 doesn't throw snow?
- RRyan CrawfordAug 15, 2025
If your Ariens Snow Blower isn't throwing snow or throws it poorly, several factors could be at play. Ice or debris might be obstructing the auger; stop the engine, remove the key, wait for moving parts to stop, and remove the obstruction before restarting. The discharge chute may be clogged with snow; stop the engine, remove the key, wait for all moving parts to stop and for hot parts to cool, then clean the discharge chute and auger housing with a clean-out tool. The impeller could be frozen in place; move the unit to a warm place to thaw it. Other potential issues include broken shear bolts or an incorrectly adjusted attachment clutch/brake.
