Hey everyone!
I’m new to the page, but have had a wood burning stove in my homes since a little kid. Now, I’m a homeowner and have my own.
I have a question I hope somebody has some insight for... The fan on my stove worked fine when I moved in. However, now when it kicks on and off I hear a scratchy noise. It’s only when it starts and slows down...
I know as heat happens, in the fan and stove, things will expand and move... I’ve taken it apart and cleaned it multiple times. I’ve also put a drop or two of lubricating oil on the shaft into the bearings... I’ve adjusted and taken the fan off about a dozen times but still makes the noise. Any ideas what it could be? I’ve attached a video of the fan making the noise and also a picture of its data tag. Thanks everyone for your time!![Noisy Fan?
