Blower started squealing this morning. Anyone know of a quick source for a replacement?

I order my Portage and Main boiler parts from these guys.

Heat Smart Plus. 800 561 0700.

They are in Western Canada but have been very responsive to me.

Ironically my fan crapped out yesterday too and I will be calling them Monday.

If you have a bottle of Blue Creeper from Logrite, I would get a few drops on the motor bearings asap.
If you do have, and can get the drops onto the "squeal" I think you will solve the immediate problem. Has worked for me several times.

Also, a pic of the motor tag may also help with a source.

No numbers anywhere on the blower. And motor has no way to get t bearings without complete disassembly.
