Afton bay noise

[woodsman23]

I think my room air motor may be on it's way out. I can hear a slight growl from it so i removed it and found no lube ports. I lubed up what i could and reinstalled it and it was quiet for a day or so but now i hear the growl once again.... I think there may be bearings also that hold the squirrel cages in place maybe a bearing>??. dam always something.

My room fan got noisy a few days ago... I was headed on a road trip so I got out a can of WD40 and gave it a couple shots to the ends of the motor where it meets the fans... still quiet three days later... I DO need to take it out and clean/lube it.

Ther is no lube hole all are oil less. I will try and respray once again...

We maybe able to source a aftermarket blower if you could post some numbers and a picture or 2. Maybe a motor if the blower is a tough one.

New blower from OEM = $160 plus

Aftermarket is about half or motor slightly less.

I got a quote from one of our fine memebers here and he said 105.00 retail..... i will take it apart again in the am. Oh and by the way i know why it's making the noise, with all the snow we have had the intake sucked up some snow and this maybe the issue.

Yep... but I usually get a little oil squirted towards those oil less bearings if I can...

Yep took apart and found it wet inside, we have had over 3 feet6 of snow and it sucked up some of this white crap... I found the entire assembly on e-bay and ordered it.

Thats the same blower in my Omega. I found the mottor replacement but it has a 1/4 inch shaft. So I would need to order adapter bushings to make it work. I can pass on the part number if you need it to repare the old blower for a spare?

Thanks for the info but that motor looks nothing like mine. Mine is a square type motor

Ahhh, You have the c-frame motor housing. If the bracket comes off, These should still work. Hard to explain, But you remove the impellet and the housings. The motor has 4 studs just like these. The 2 I listed will make a bit more noise though. I haven't found a c-frame replacement yet!

Once you remove the impeller and housing, You will see what I mean. If it doesn't look good, Snap a few pictures once you get the blower apart.
