I have a Harmon Accentra insert, and when I turn on the stove after it has been off for several hours, the distribution fan makes a loud squealing noise for a few minutes. The fan also seems to have a hard time turning.

the noise goes away once it's been running for a little while

Do I need to lubricate the fan, or just replace it?
I have cleaned out the fan, but I haven't disassembled it to get inside
