What Are the Most Common Snowblower Problems?

Snowblowers are an excellent tool for managing snow in colder climates, but like any machine, they can develop problems.

Here are some of the most common issues that might require repairs:

  • Starting problems: This is a frequently reported issue with snowblowers. It can be due to stale fuel, a dirty carburetor, spark plug issues, or battery problems in electric start models.
  • Clogged auger or impeller: Wet, heavy snow can easily clog your snowblower’s auger and impeller, preventing it from throwing snow effectively. If the clog persists, your snowblower’s engine can shut off.
  • Wear and tear of moving parts: Belts, bearings, and shear pins are prone to wear and can break.
  • Chute problems: When the adjustment mechanism is frozen or damaged, the chute through which the snow is expelled can become blocked or may not turn.
  • Engine overheating: Snowblowers can overheat due to a blocked air intake, old or low engine oil, or continuous high-load operation.
  • Fuel system issues: Problems can arise from using old or contaminated fuel. Components like the fuel filter, fuel lines, or carburetor might need cleaning or replacement.

Shear Pin Repair Services

Shear pins are crucial safety components in your snowblower. They’re designed to break when your auger hits a hard object, preventing damage to the gearbox and motor. To ensure your snowblower operates safely and efficiently, regularly inspect the shear pins for signs of wear and tear. Look for bending, significant wear, or any signs of damage.

If a shear pin looks worn or damaged, replace it immediately—even if it hasn’t broken—to maintain its protective function. Proactively replacing worn or damaged shear pins will ensure your snowblower is always ready to handle the tough work of clearing snow without unexpected breakdowns.

How Do You Know When Your Snowblower Needs New Spark Plugs?

Knowing when to replace the spark plugs in your snowblower is important for maintaining its efficiency and reliability.

Here are several signs that indicate your snowblower’s spark plugs may need replacement:

Difficulty Starting

When your snowblower is hard to start or doesn’t start at all, it could be due to worn or damaged spark plugs.

Engine Misfires

When your snowblower’s engine misfires, it fails to ignite the fuel in one or more cylinders. This can often be attributed to spark plug issues.

Increased Fuel Consumption

Have you noticed your snowblower is using more fuel than usual? This could be due to inefficient fuel burning caused by old or dirty spark plugs.

Rough Running Engine

Does your snowblower’s engine run unevenly or idle roughly? It might be because the spark plugs aren’t firing correctly.

Decreased Performance

A noticeable decrease in your snowblower’s ability to throw snow as far as it used to could indicate that the spark plugs no longer produce a strong enough spark.

Visible Wear or Damage

Have a look at your spark plugs. Do they have deposits, corrosion, or worn-down electrodes? If so, they should be replaced.

How Often Should You Change Your Snowblower’s Spark Plug?

Snowblower spark plugs should be changed after they’re in operation for 100 hours. It’s a good idea to have them replaced annually.

What Maintenance Does Your Snowblower Need?

Improve your snowblower’s performance and longevity by giving it the pre-season maintenance required to operate efficiently all winter.

Here’s what’s involved in our typical snowblower maintenance package:

  • Oil change
  • Spark plug inspections and replacements
  • Belt adjustments and replacements
  • Grease application on moving parts
  • Scraper blade and skid shoe assessments and replacements

How Often Should You Service Your Snowblower?

You should service your snowblower annually to prepare it for the snow-clearing season ahead. Once winter is over, you should have it serviced again to prepare it for storage.

Post-season maintenance includes:

  • Draining fuel
  • Cleaning the machine
  • Checking all fasteners
  • Reviewing components like cables, controls, and auger system

Store your snowblower in a covered, dry space during the off-season to prevent rust and damage.

How Much Does Snowblower Repair Cost?

Our service fees stay the same whether you bring your snowblower to us for repair work or have us come to you.

Here’s a look at our upfront pricing structure:

  • Repairs with tune-up = Tune-up cost + $100/hour repair labor + repair parts
  • Repairs without tune-up = $50 on-site fee + $100/hour repair labor + repair parts

Expect a personalized estimate that reflects the full scope of our repair work—and no hidden surprises.
