Hello everyone!
I'm a relatively new pellet stove owner and I have been having issues with a loud blower.
I have a Drolet Eco-45 and recently it seems the blower has become louder and more metallic sounding, seems like something is in the motor or something is loose.
I would love to be able to fix this myself but I have no idea what I'm getting into here. I would be comfortable taking it apart to give it a good clean. I've tried putting the vacuum into the access point but it doesnt seem to do anything. There is definitely a build up of creosote on the exhaust side, the combustion side seems to be fine.
The noise starts from the moment I start it up, sometimes if its really cold it will have a louder sound at start up but eventually get a little quieter, although lately its been pretty loud regardless.
Could this be a bearing issue?
Do I need to call someone in to do some maintenance?
Thanks!
