quote: Connor Kirkwood Seems like I might have to call a technician. I'd inspect further, but I'm not sure which part of the unit I'm supposed to disassemble and clean. Anyone dealt with this kind of fan before?
Unplug the unit, first off.
The blower assembly is attached by the three bolts that holds up the blower cage, which you'll have to access the bolts by taking off the end plate where the ceramic socket you see there at the end of the heater box.
Then, you take an allen wrench, or it might be a T-10 or 15 TORX screwdriver blade to loosen the set screw on the blower wheel.
Then you can take the blower wheel off and give it a good cleaning and also clean the wheel housing.
Also, while you got that motor off, it could use a good oiling. There are two small open areas on each end of the motor where you put a few drops of projector oil (or sewing machine oil-something light..) in each of these holes.
While you got the blower off, then you can clean out the inside of the heating element area.
Good luck - monte
