probably dieing, but you might try removing it an dseeing of there isnt alot of "stuff" like cat and dog hair, and dust, wound into the squirrel cage fan,.....could throw it off-balance, causing noise.
No, they arent lube-able......you can spray lube on it, migh tquiet it for a short time, but there's no oil ports on the fan at all......
agreed, have to pull the fan off anyhow to replace it...a perfect time to pigtail the motor and plug it directly into the wall to see if it runs noisy, etc......good luck!
Check and see how dirty it is. If it is clogged with hair and dust is can stress out the rotation. Possibly it can be oiled up. May be a sealed bearing.
