Re: [a/s] Suburban furnace blower



Hi there,

I had (optimal word being HAD) a 71 5 years ago, and the book said the
same thing.

You will need to remove the entire furnace, and open it up.  It is fairly
straight forward of a process, but you need to get to the inside.

There you will find the "squirrel cage" fan.  If you have the same
problem I had, just pust the fan back on the shaft.  It is held on with a
"rubber grommet" thing that vibrates off.  You will not need to replace
the motor if it is still turning and the bearings are not shot.  Should
take under 3 hours, for someone that does not do this everyday.  When
re-installing, make sure you get the gas line secure.  Check with SOAPY
WATER, not a match like my sister did to check for leaks on a gas hot
plate while camping :-)
