I followed the installation instructions posted within the dispenser auger part section and found these installation instructions and comments from others very helpful. The only thing that threw me a bit was in the posted instructions, #6, stated "Remove the screw..... ". This was misleading for it is a plastic nut that has to be removed,

AND, it has reverse threads. Once I found this out by looking at the parts diagram and looking up this plastic nut and seeing a comment it has reverse threads, it went pretty smooth from there . Overall, I found your site vey helpful and made the parts swap over easier.

In your video for installation, which is otherwise indispensable, please make sure to indicate which direction the two armed blade goes. Do to the close up of the reassembly, there is very little indication which way the hanging assembly that the two arms hold belongs on the rod. I am not sure it matters, since I found one shot that when stopped indicated the way the hanging assembly was oriented. However, it appears that it could be put on either way, so a clear statement of which end goes onto the rod first would be useful
Hi John,
Thank you for your question. The blades are numbered and should be installed in the order they were removed. The numbered side of the blades, should face in the direction of the opposite end of the auger. We hope this helps!
