Snow blower or snow shovel running, but the auger isn't turning?
The drive belt may be worn or broken. Belts wear over time, and heavy, wet snow or an auger jam puts extra strain on them, so you may need to replace yours more often if you clear a lot of slushy snow.
Use this guide to find the right replacement belt for your Snow Joe model and install it.
