Regency i1150- loud blower

[doug260]

I recently had a small Regency i1150 wood insert installed. When the blower comes on, it's pretty loud for such a small unit. Are there any aftermarket blowers that might be quieter or does anyone have any tips to make it quieter (besides leaving it off)?
Thanks

Does your blower speed turn down?

Does your blower speed turn down?

Yes and it is on the lowest setting

You may be out of luck then. Is it air movement noise or is it bearings?

Is it rattling or vibrating against the mounting bracket, or is it the motor itself?
Try pushing on the base of the blower while it's running and see if it changes or stops. I have a PE Super Insert LE and I've had to bend the bracket a little bit (by pushing on the blower assy).

If that's not it, remove the blower from the stove but plug it back into the power cable... See if it still happens. If so, you should try a warranty claim on the blower.
