The auger motor came in 2 days. It was very easy to replace, only took a few minutes, and it works fine. The whitfield supplier wanted $150.00 and it only cost me $60.00. Amazon is great.

***I'm leaving the original negative comment for any others that may be having difficulty with their PS40 so they might avoid costly repairs and frustrations with similar symptoms***

Worked well and quietly for one year and three weeks, so no warranty replacement for this fella. Its third gear in the box stripped right out instead of chewing through a few stuck for pellets.

Occasionally, it would struggle through forcing the auger past a pellet or two and make a lot of noise before returning to its quiet operation. This time its shaft gave way and chewed itself right through the set screw and stripped the gears out when it caught traction again.

*Edit: It turns out the bearing on the auger itself went out because of sawdust, which is a common problem with the Winslow PS40. Symptoms are loud and regular groaning and banging noises with the occasional failure to start. The motor and worm gear is a simple setup that has no protection against overworking itself, so this part wasn't to blame, and had actually pushed the set screw through the auger shaft before giving out. The auger replacement would have taken 3 weeks and cost $360, so I blew out all the sawdust from the auger bearing and put some graphite lubricant in there and it works like a champ. Only one rough spot which barely hangs up and the new motor can power right through. I recommend the solvent based graphite or putting some dry stuff into a little acetone and painting it into the gaps, but a good dusting with the dry kind should do just fine.

Used to replace my original motor from my Enviro Insert. Its quiet and so far trouble free. Been in use for about 3100 hours so far. Cannot take apart like the original (to re-grease), this is a sealed unit. I got approx 75,000 hours from the original motor before I broke it by accident (with orig grease).

5 stars for price alone. Englander was $130.00 plus $12.00 shipping. this unit has wire leads that are ready to connect to your wires. either wires are the correct ones when you connect them. the wires will not change rotation. you must remove the 4 screws that mount the coil. then turn coil over and reinstall screws. took a couple of minutes to change rotation. motor seems to be as quiet cost for this was $51.27, a substantial savings. shipping was 2 days via usps and free. might purchase a standby at that price

If you are fixing your pellet stove yourself, do your homework and order the right parts. This motor is awesome. It's more heavy duty than the original manufacturer's part (the AC motor is much bigger) and it costs half the price!? This was an exact fit for a Whitfield Advantage-2 pellet stove, the auger motor needed to be 1 RPM, 120 volts, and spinning clockwise. If you order a motor with the wrong speed, wrong size, wrong application, etc, it's your fault and writing a negative review is silly. If you're in doubt on what to order just google your pellet stove model and look at the specs your appliance needs. Or take the original motor off and read the labels on it. The RPM and volts are written right on it!
