A direct OEM-style replacement auger bearing engineered for Englander pellet stoves. The built-in grease fitting allows routine lubrication without disassembly, extending bearing and auger motor life -- a small part that makes a big difference in long-term stove reliability.
The auger bearing is one of the hardest-working components in any pellet stove. It supports the auger shaft as it continuously feeds pellets into the burn pot, and when it fails, your stove stops feeding -- and stops heating. The Englander PU-UCF204-12 replaces the worn or seized bearing with a unit that matches the original mounting footprint and shaft diameter exactly.
What sets this part apart from generic pillow-block bearings is the integrated grease fitting (Zerk-style). Most OEM pellet stove bearings are sealed and non-serviceable. This replacement lets you push fresh grease into the bearing housing periodically, dramatically reducing wear caused by heat, dust, and the constant low-RPM load of auger operation.
Zerk-style grease fitting lets you lubricate the bearing without removal. Extends service life and protects the auger motor from added strain.
Matches the standard Englander auger shaft diameter. No adapters, no shimming -- direct drop-in replacement for listed models.
3-3/8" x 3-3/8" base with 1-1/4" height fits within the original stove chassis. No modification to the mounting plate required.
Fits over 20 Englander pellet stove models across the 25- and 55-series lines, including freestanding and insert variants.
Pellet stove auger bearings run continuously during every heating cycle and are exposed to fine wood dust, vibration, and radiant heat. Common failure symptoms include:
If your stove is exhibiting any of these symptoms, inspect the auger bearing before replacing the auger motor -- a failed bearing is a far more common and far less expensive cause.
This is a moderate DIY repair. Replacing the auger bearing generally requires removing the rear access panel of the stove, detaching the auger motor, sliding the auger shaft out, pressing or sliding the old bearing off, and installing this replacement. The 3/4" collar diameter and 3-3/8" x 3-3/8" base plate ensure it seats correctly in the factory mounting location on all listed models.
