Well the convection blower bearings are starting to whine so I need to replace them. Sooner than later is my usual attack. I pulled the blower today and cleaned everything put a drop of Electric Motor oil on each bearing to buy some time.

By any chance would anyone know what bearings fit the Convection Blower on a Quadra Fire Santa Fe?
thx in advance.
 
I tried some from a local bearing shop. They had the metal dust shields instead of the rubber ones. They made more noise than the originals that were getting noisy. Bought a whole new fan, cracked one of the fans while taking the old one apart the second time because of the noisy new bearings.

Sorry, I can't help you. I remember some buying bearings off of ebay.

The original bearings in mine were inch size, not metric. 608S possibly.

I have read that you can lubricate a noisy bearing with a grease gun needle. You can either push the seal aside or drill a small hole in the seal, being careful not to hit one of the ball bearings. You should get a high temp grease that is not too stiff and a high temp sealant to reseal the bearing. But I think your beast bet is to get a magnifying glass and see if there is a part # on the bearing. Sometimes the # is on the seal and sometimes it is on the side of the bearing.
