Motor seem a little stiff. Doesn't want to spin freely. Fan blades are all straight. Should I still oil the bearings??

Yes , we are going to call Ardisam anyway ..The first thing he said was the fan stopped immediately . It did not keep spinning ..He just said there was only one rubber grommet. the motor and shaft go to the fan vent on the other side.

Feeling the Heat
One thing you can do to help when you call for tech support, is if you are going to town, buy a meter that is known as a "kill a watt" meter.
Here's a picture of mine and what the reading was for the stove on heat setting one.

If you can find one of these meters, it will help you diagnose a lot of things beyond the stove. But tech support can tell you if things are out of spec if you have one and know what it reads when the stove is running.
I will have to see if I can find one. That would come in handy for a lot of things lol thanks

New part is on its way. I picked up another serenity so, it is in place of the other one. Until the part comes in. Then I will put the one that gets fixed in the living room at the other end of the house... The new one is quiet and no funny sounds so far. Just firing it up now lol

I am replying behind Murph .As right now .We do not if we should laugh or scream .All is hooked up tested and correct .We are getting the EXACT same noise as with the first stove ???? He is going over all AGAIN ..WOW LOL
The sound is coming from the top part of the blower chamber. That is the loudest place. Took the top panel off and the chamber is enclosed. The top plate to the chamber is snug agents the sides except for one side of the chamber plate. Could that cause the whistle sound we are hearing in both stoves?? Was thinking of high temp silicone to see if it makes any difference.

I was wondering about this myself .This is V ..I mentioned to Murph about the OAK because it seems to be just a little different install from our prior stove .Than the way Ardisam has theirs
We really want to keep these stoves .2 doing the exact same thing is just strange .I am sitting here feeling great heat .We found an air leak(old house) into the kitchen area where it is installed .The wind always tells us . TODAY its WIND here Which is why it didnt feel as if it was blowing good heat .
