What to do if my Craftsman 247.88976 Snow Blower unit fails to discharge snow?
- J
  James BlackSep 9, 2025
  If your Craftsman Snow Blower isn't discharging snow, it could be due to: * A clogged chute assembly; stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and clean the chute assembly and auger housing with a clean-out tool. * A foreign object lodged in the auger; stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the object with a clean-out tool. * An auger cable needing adjustment. Refer to Assembly section. * A loose or damaged auger belt. Refer to Service and Maintenance section. * Shear pins may have sheared; replace them as instructed in the Operation section.

  If your Craftsman Snow Blower is plowing snow instead of blowing it, it could be due to: * Low ground speed in wet/slushy snow; increase ground speed and operate the engine at FULL throttle. * Shear pins may have sheared; replace them as instructed in the Operation section.
