Pellet Stove Exhaust blower with a wobley bearing and the noise it makes now in slow motion!

[Don2222]

Hello

Has anyone seen such a bad bearing like this on their exhaust blower?
This is the first one I have seen like it. See yellow arrows in pic below.

This vid shows how it sounds when turning it manually and when it is running on the bench.


Here is the new slow motion video of the bad bearing for additional viewing entertainment!

Good vids again,Don.Have seen many car heater motors that bad.Do not understand how some people can live with the noise.You should grab a ebm/papst blower and run it outside the stove,you would want to convert all stoves to them.

Sounds like a good idea.
Do they mount on a standard 6" mounting hub?

Not that I have seen,but the flange/plate just bolts on like others.Put a few feelers out for those plates you are looking for,will let you know if I come up with anything.

Thanks for looking for the plates, I will have to make some calls on them also.
