Hi guys...
my P38 has started singing the blues this weekend. the convection(room air) blower is making that dreaded racket. i shut down the stove, removed the blower, cleaned the fins, and oiled the motor with some mystery oil. turning the motor by hand gave no noise,and there didnt seem to be much back and forth play in it, so i thought "great" and put everything back together and re-fired the stove. as soon as the temp was up and the blower kicked on ...there it was again,noisy as all get out.
all i remember from looking at the blower was that its a dayton blower, and never thought to look at the tag or write any of the info down. i suppose i could tear it down again to look, but was hoping someone here might have it, and possibly a source for lesser expensive parts? my stove is beyond warranty, therefore i do my own repairs, and am mechaniccally inclined enough to do so.
the stove is working and throwing great heat for now, but for how long i dont know, and would like to get another blower , so as to be ready when the death occurs, or sooner if it gets so noisy i cant stand it. i am wondering if there is a cross ref. number i can use, and a cheaper source other than going through my local dealer.
thank in advance,
mike
