How to fix your Snapper gas snowblower when its chute won't turn

Clear the snowblower chute if snow build-up prevents the chute from turning. Inspect the drive mechanism of the chute direction system and remove any foreign objects caught in the drive system.

If the drive system is clear, adjust the cable, shaft or gears that move the chute. Replace the chute control box or 4-way chute control assembly if those components won't turn the chute. Our video on how to troubleshoot snowblower chute problems also has tips to help fix the problem.

Top Snapper gas snowblower maintenance parts and accessories

• Shear pin kit. Shear pins connect the auger sections to the rotating drive shaft. A shear pin is made of soft metal that purposely shears off or breaks to protect the transmission and motor if a foreign object or hard-packed snow binds the auger. The shear pin kit includes multiple shear pins so you'll have spares to use all winter.
• Auger belt. The auger belt connects the motor pulley to the auger and drive wheel to rotate those components.
• Tire chains. The tire chains attach to the snowblower tires to improve traction in wet snow.
• Tune-up kit. Use this kit to prepare your snowblower for winter use. The kit includes a spark plug, oil and fuel stabilizer to help keep your snowblower engine running smoothly.
