I have the same model and had my auger belt break after less than 3 hours use. This happened at end of January. Now it will be at the dealer until mid-April as there are no belts available for replacement. Very frustrating to pay nearly $1200 and not have a usable product that I now have little faith in.
The thrower was outside of its 30-day return window so now I am stuck in Milwaukee without a snow thrower, and out over $1000! The customer service line told me the belt can be under stress if the chute clogs with ice and usage of the blower is halted. This puts continued tension on the belt and can break it with restarting. This was not the case for me as it broke during use and I store it in a heated garage.
As an FYI, the repairs on my machine go farther than just the belt. So maybe it is a mis-adjustment on the tensioner.
