So today my downstairs was 53. Decided to load up the stove and give the house some heat. Stove was running fine, top up to 450, dampened down 50%, turn blower on high. Go upstairs to make some lunch, I hear a "bang" or a "pop" and I hear the fan shut off. I run downstairs, and say what the hell, fan won't turn on.
After taking off the right plate that guards the fan to get access to the insides, I notice the fan is sitting on the floor basically, not being suspended by the 3 screws that should be holding it up. I scratch my head some more as there are no screws laying around. (Figured this might be the bang i herd, the fan falling) So I take the left side apart to see how that fan is held up, and it is so loose with the 3 screws holding it on. Are they suppsed to have play in the fans? Or should I tighten these down hard? Still investigating.
