This is model TFB57PZB. I just bought it off FB Marketplace. This fan hanging down isn't supposed to be like that right? It does turn on when I turn the Traeger on, but it's supposed to be mounted somewhere right? I haven't been able to find anything online.

Hey! It looks like you posted an image!
If this is a photo of one of your cooks, maybe share the recipe and techniques
used, as it’s almost guaranteed one of the first questions you will be asked!
*What seasoning did you use?
*How long did you cook it, and at what temperature?
*Did you use any special tricks or techniques?
Traeger on!

That’s the [auger motor](https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Traeger-Electric-Pellet-KIT0020/dp/B0DRXSYVMH). Yes, it’s supposed to be mounted. The hole in the stem that’s sticking out should have a screw through it and be attached to the auger.
Inexpensive fixes, honestly. But just based on the photo, I can’t tell what you have or what’s missing.
This happens to me 2 to 3 times a year. If you get a bad clog, sometimes that stupid little bolt will break in half. I keep a few on deck just in case. Once you’ve done it a couple times it’s an easy fix.
The one thing I like about the older models is that they’re very easy to fix. Kind of like a vintage car.
