Could be your mounting bolts are sheered off. I would remove the wheel it's self and then try to wiggle the motor shaft around to see if the bolts have broken. The Wiki has some good information on this.

Found the problem to be the four loose bolts under the feeder wheel, Cleaned the whole surfuce re-tightened the 5/32 bolts and replaced the feeder wheel.
No problem since. This is my stoves 9th season just prbobably wore loose . had that happen on the burn pot motor also two years ago. I'll do some Preventative Maintenace in spring.

Thanks cd. I added your adviceto the WIKI here: forum.iburncorn.com/wiki/index.php/Bixby...on_with_Error_Code_8 . Did I get it right?

If you're running the same stove for 9 years, you must be doing something right yourself.
