I disagree. My fan was squealing like a pig on fire and all I did was take it apart, clean the rust out of it, and put some anti-sieze lube in the bottom part of it where the internal mototr meets the housing. Result? No more squeal. It's been about 3 years now and it's still as quiet as a mouse (that's not on fire of course). ---Dan --- In dmcnews@xxxx, thai vu <thaiqvu@xxxx> wrote: > Joe, > Mine was making a little noise and not a lot of air. > These blowers' bearing wear out easily and not > repairable.
