Letter from Iowa

Hi,

7 degrees cold and snowy.

Heard a snow thrower, outside, close, noisy. Runs for a while, stops for awhile, starts up, recycles.

Look outside....no one there. Starts up again.

Curiously it cycles with the furnace

Hmmm where is that sound coming from?...... sounds like from the basement..... what the??????

The furnace is imitating a snow blower noise. More specifically it is the exhaust blower.

2 screws, 8 clips, one skinned knuckle later.... I find that the rusted remains of a tension clip rattling in blower cage. This would have been a good part to make out of a rust resistant
material....begin subject to the hot moist exhaust from the furnace.

Since it is just a tension fit, I button it back up, and it fires up nicely.

$350/$250to replace the blower motor assembly, no sub parts available.
