Buck fan sounds like it's going to break through the wall!

[Campbeke]

Help! I have a buck stove, inserted into the wall--and when I plug it in, the fan sounds like it's out of alignment and going to crash through the wall.

Unfortunately there are no repairmen in my area--any tips on how to fix this myself?

Welcome. "Buck stove inserted into the wall..." Please explain. Is this a freestanding stove in an alcove or an insert installed into a fireplace? Was the stove or insert just installed or has it been fine until recently?

If you could post a picture that would also be helpful so we can visualize what is going on.

If this is an older buck the fan is on the back of the insert:

You can buy the parts direct from Buck: (broken link removed to https://www.buckstove.com/partsstore/home.php)

You will need to find out which model you have, here is a thread to tell you how to identify your model: https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/old-buck-stove-information-one-stop-resource.125611/

Yep, Some Bucks have a motor with a shaft sticking out both ends, My Old Stove (Model 27000) only had the shaft sticking out one side. It originally had the 9 blade fan, Once when I replaced the motor I bought the 5 Blade, Mistake, Had to pull it again and swap the 9 blade back on... You may have to scoot it out and see what's up..

Hi everyone!
First time posting & tagging to a thread. I’m trying to replace a blower motor on a Buck Stove 27000 installed in 1984 that looks similar. It’s never had anything replaced. I want to make sure I’m doing this correctly and looking for a good step by step video. Does anyone have any good links?
Thanks!
