Keep your Englander corn stove feeding fuel reliably with this direct-replacement auger shaft. Engineered to fit specific Englander corn-burning models, the CU-AFC restores proper fuel delivery when the original shaft wears, bends, or breaks -- getting your stove back to full heating capacity with a straightforward swap.
The auger shaft is the mechanical backbone of your corn stove's fuel feed system. It transfers rotation from the auger motor to the auger flighting, pushing shelled corn from the hopper into the burn pot at a controlled rate. A worn, bent, or broken shaft causes inconsistent fuel delivery, incomplete combustion, error codes, or a stove that simply won't run. Replacing it with the correct OEM-specification shaft restores normal operation without the need to replace the entire auger assembly.
The Englander CU-AFC is the manufacturer-specified replacement shaft for three Englander corn stove models. At 11-3/8 inches in length and weighing only 0.3 lbs, it is a compact but critical component. This part is also catalogued under NBK Parts number 20238, so you may see it listed under either reference when cross-shopping suppliers.
Designed specifically for Englander corn stove models 10-CDV, 49-SHC22, and 49-TRC22 -- no modification or adaptation required.
Exact length match to the original shaft ensures proper engagement with the auger motor coupling and flighting without binding or slop.
Low-mass shaft minimizes load on the auger motor, consistent with the original design specifications for these corn-burning models.
Listed as both Englander CU-AFC and NBK Parts 20238, making it easy to confirm you have the right part before ordering.
Corn stoves run their auger continuously during operation, cycling thousands of times per heating season. Over time, shafts can develop wear at coupling interfaces, experience fatigue cracking from repeated torsional load, or bend slightly if a foreign object enters the hopper and jams the auger. Common symptoms of a failing or failed auger shaft include:
Replacing the auger shaft on Englander corn stove models 10-CDV, 49-SHC22, and 49-TRC22 is a field-serviceable repair that typically requires basic hand tools. The process generally involves:
