I had a 1688 that was doing that same thing and the problem was in the gear box that is in the elbow of the auger the top gear was worn pretty bad and it would slip every once in awhile. Taking the gear box out was not a big job but you have to take off the auger first unless someone knows a easier way to do it. I took the gear box to my dealer and they put new gears in and that solved my problem. Hope the weather gets better for you.
