Does this sound vary when you turn the distribution fan up and down? Perhaps the bearing on this fan is shot and you need to replace that fan.

Our stove does not have an option to turn the distribution blower up or down. I think it might be the combustion blower?

Hi.

No button "Stove temp / Off / Room temp" ?

Distribution fan is easy to desassemble :

Bonjour. With a little 'rrrring' from distribution fan since a few days, I pulled it off (3 wires, 2 bolts), removed dust (paintbrush and compressed-air) then slightly tightened the little bolts (torx) fixing fan cases on support. No more 'rrrring' 8) But now fan's sometime squeaking X(...
