No filter.
Make sure it ain't plugged with pet hair or dust bunnies.
Also could oil the motor if possible.

What model Englander?
I agree with Smoke Shows post also. Sounds like the convection blower needs cleaned. Probably all of them. If they haven't been serviced? An air compressor and a blow nozzle will make short work of the job and then a little oil put into the oil ports or if no ports, then put onto the bearings themselves.
Also, cleaning the entire stove may be a good idea. Depending on when it was done last. This would include removing the combustion blower and cleaning the impeller blades and cleaning the path from where the blower goes, back up into the stove body. This area is a good ash trap and should be cleaned frequently (25-pdvc, 25-pdv). Having a combustion blower gasket on hand will be necessary. The original will probably be wasted when you remove the exhaust blower.
What does his regular cleaning schedule consist of? How old are the stoves?
