Hello. Our stove is just over three years old. A little over a month ago the stove wouldn't turn back on after it had been sitting for the day. There was an audible hum that sounded like a stuck motor. It turned out to be the blower motor. The fan spun freely but when under power the motor wouldn't spin. I removed the motor and blew it out. After that it started right up. This happened again a week later when it was shut down for most of the day. This time I gave the fan a little spin while still attached to the stove and powered it up. The motor turned on. This happens every time the stove is off for a prolonged time. Today it happened again but giving the fan a "jump start" didn't work. I removed the motor and blew it out again and after many attempts I finally got it running. Is it time for a new motor? Is there something else that could be causing this? I haven't checked with a meter but I feel like the motor is getting power. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
