Englander 25 PDV Whirring Sound Coming from Combustion Blower

[nick123]

This is my first season burning. No real problems till last night. I'm getting a loud grinding/whirring sound coming from my combustion blower. When I touch the motor housing the sound seems to mute down or go away.

I shut down and cleaned the stove, lint brushed the vent pipe ( no leaf blower clean, did one last weekend). I restarted stove all seemed fine till about 3-4 hours later and it started again (very loud). Stove has been shutdown since. Help!!

Thanks Nick!

It sounds like the motor is loose on the housing. You can try re peeling it it place with a punch and hammer.
