    Ok, so the $50 enviro ef2 I got over the summer was running tonight and all of the sudden the blower fan started to make a noise like the fins were hitting something. Any ideas before I tear it apart?

    Also apparently the electric ignitor does not work. What do I look for on that.

    Chris, as far as I can think, the only way the fins of a blower can suddenly start hitting something is if:

    1. the entire blower unit comes loose

    2. the fan blades come loose on the motor shaft

    3. the fan blades changed size/shape slightly due to expansion from the heat

    Either way, I would remove it and investigate.
