i first got the chirp then the scream so i pulled it out unable to take apart . so i ripped it open anyway . no bearings to lube there are these silicone cups the motor ends sit in and there's no lube they sit in there dry there was some tiny gunk in the cup but now its moot to clean out i guess the heat down there burns any oil making it worse if you try the lube option ?? so i had to get new motor $200+ dollars

so motor came try to put it in no go the old motor had rivets on the little heat sheilds above the motor
new motor has these black hex head screws making it just a bit taller and it catches the cast on the stove .

so either you pull the stove surround off or i just ground down the screws heads to almost nil and she slipped right in all this just fix squeak from unservicable item
