What to do if my Ariens Snow Blower does not throw snow or throws it poorly?

  If your Ariens Snow Blower does not throw snow or throws it poorly, it could be due to several reasons. Start by checking if the shear bolts are broken. Ensure the attachment clutch or brake is correctly adjusted. If the impeller is frozen, move the unit to a warm place to thaw it. Also, check for ice or debris obstructing the auger and remove any obstructions. Make sure the discharge chute is not clogged with snow, and if it is, clean it with a clean-out tool after stopping the engine and waiting for moving parts to stop and hot parts to cool. Finally, inspect the auger drive belt for slipping, wear, or damage, and adjust or replace it as needed. Also check if the auger drive belt is loose or damaged.

How to fix an Ariens Sno-Thro 920021 compact 24 Snow Blower that will not start?
- H

  If your Ariens Snow Blower engine won't start, it might be due to several reasons. Ensure the engine key is in the run position. Check that the choke is on, and the fuel valve is open. Refill the fuel tank if it's empty. If the engine is cold, prime it by pressing the primer bulb three times; avoid priming a warm engine. If it has an electric start, a faulty ignition switch starter circuit could be the issue, consider visiting your dealer for repair. Also, check for dirt around the governor or carburetor and clean it. Lastly, make sure the spark plug wire is connected and the spark plug isn't faulty. If there's excessive fuel, turn the choke off and try again. If all else fails, the engine itself may be faulty, and you should consult your Ariens dealer.

  If your Ariens Snow Blower doesn't drive forward or in reverse, the friction disc may be worn and needs replacement. Another cause could be an incorrectly adjusted traction drive cable; remove slack from the cable. A malfunctioning traction belt can also prevent movement, requiring repair or replacement. Lastly, ensure the speed selector is correctly adjusted.

Why does my Ariens Sno-Thro 920021 compact 24 engine keep stopping?
- D
  Debra JacksonAug 25, 2025
  If your Ariens Snow Blower engine stops, first check if the fuel tank is empty and refill it if necessary. Also, ensure the fuel valve is open. If there's an obstruction in the auger or impeller, stop the engine, remove the key, wait for all parts to stop moving, and then remove the obstruction. Contaminated fuel can also cause this issue, so replace it with clean fuel. Lastly, a faulty spark plug can cause the engine to stop, so replace or clean it. A blocked fuel cap vent can also cause the engine to stop, install a new fuel cap.

Why does my Ariens Sno-Thro 920021 compact 24 Snow Blower start hard or run poorly?
- J
  Jennifer MartinAug 28, 2025
  If your Ariens Snow Blower engine starts hard or runs poorly, the fuel mixture might be too rich. Try turning the choke control knob to the off position. Another potential cause is a faulty, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plug. Clean and correctly set the spark plug gap, or consult your Ariens dealer. A blocked fuel cap vent can also cause this issue, so install a new fuel cap.

  If your Ariens Snow Blower leaves excessive snow behind, the scraper blade might be worn or damaged. Adjust the scraper blade if it's worn. Replace it if it's damaged or if it has been adjusted down as far as possible but still doesn't touch the ground or clear correctly.
