Wooden toy dropped in princess insert air exchanger

[Garrin]

Gotta love children.

Big one (5) dropped a painted wooden block down the air exchanger (family friendly design). Tried fishing it out with wire and it only dropped down further.

Can't use magnetic tools as it's wood. Any way to get to it?

Thanks in advance.

If you can still reach it with a piece of wire, maybe you can use some double sided tape on the end of a piece of wire?

Piece of hose duct taped to the shop vac?

Or deploy a team of termites...

My dad recommended the same thing. I have to see if I can locate it with the snake camera and give that a try.

I trust they'd take the toy as payment and leave peacefully after that.

Sometimes these blowers are easy to change out. That would be a last resort.

Ideally, I could find a way to get at it some way besides from the top. I'll reach out to BK as well. I figured I'd ask on here as a first resort and go from there.

How long has it been since the blower was cleaned?

 

[Garrin]

I vacuumed it out partway through last season. Haven't done much more than that, though.

Post a picture of where the block fell in please...

Thank you.

Easy. There are two square drive #2 screws that can be removed to remove each fan set.

Once the fans set is removed, you can remove the blower exhaust. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

I once had a pellet stove. My youngest son "hid" his Hot Wheels inside the hopper. That ruined the cars and my auger motor!

Snarky "family friendly" designation retracted.

I'll update with a picture of the catch of the day and the perpetrator.

Thank you and Long Live Blaze King.
