Hello
After a few years of use, when I fired up the Santa Fe stove the other day the moving parts just sounded a tad creeky. Not alot just a little.

13. Cleaning Exhaust Blower - Requires No Lubrication
• Frequency: Yearly or as needed
• By: Qualified Service Technician
• Task: Contact your local dealer
14. Cleaning Convection Blower - Requires No Lubrication
• Frequency: Yearly or as needed
• By: Qualified Service Technician
• Task: Contact your local dealer
I agree that the bearings are sealed and that is good in a dirty hot stove environment.
Cleaning the fan blades of both the exhaust blower and room blower and spray with graphite spray is still good servicing.
However a few drops of 3-1 oil on the shaft seemed to give both blowers, and the auger motor a new lease on life and they run smoother and a little quieter when I fired the stove again tonight. Granted not a huge increase but the blowers did sound smoother running. They may even last 10 years this way! ! ! !
Any comments? ?
