  Olivia GonzalezAug 19, 2025
  If your MTD Snow Blower isn't throwing snow, the chute assembly might be clogged. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and then use a clean-out tool or stick to carefully remove any blockage from the chute and inside the auger housing. Also, check the shear pins; if they're broken, replace them. Ensure no foreign objects are lodged in the auger. If there is, stop the engine immediately, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the object. Furthermore, the auger control cable might be out of adjustment, so adjust the auger control cable. Finally, the auger belt could be loose or damaged, in which case you should replace it.

  If your MTD Lawn and Garden Equipment unit isn't discharging snow, several factors could be at play. First, the chute assembly might be clogged; in this case, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and use a clean-out tool or stick to clear the chute and the inside of the auger housing. Second, check for sheared shear pins and replace them if necessary. A foreign object lodged in the auger could also be the culprit; if so, immediately stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the object. Additionally, the auger control cable might be out of adjustment, requiring adjustment. Finally, inspect the auger belt for looseness or damage, and replace it if needed.
