Suburban SF 30 furnace suddenly very noisy

Thanks for all the help.

Charlie, that's kind of what I was thinking. I'm just trying to see if I will be able to get enough of it apart to have access to the parts I need to inspect…

Good job on the post !!! I like the soundcloud part.

By the sound of it the blade is hitting on something. You need to take it apart first before buying parts. It's possible that something just got stuck in it. Or, that you may be able to see where it is hitting and clearance out the problem by bending or tweaking something. Or, maybe the mounting bracket has slipped and you need to adjust the fan motor and then tighten down the bracket.

If you don' use it often it may not be wore out and need replacing. Just a adjustment might be on order.

My 22 year old furnace works just fine and I use it fairly often. But, not a lot.

Great videos on you tube that may or may not help

Thanks, will do. I was planning on at least seeing if I could get it out first and look at it. Which would be a whole project in itself.

Make sure you can get the old one apart before you invest in parts.
