Hi
I have a TRANE XL80 Furnace. Couple of days ago the furnace “Blower” started to make humming and grinding noise and it wouldn’t turn. I then would give it a push start by turning it by hand, and it would turn for couple of hours and it would do the same thing.
An hour ago, it stopped turning even when I turn it by hand. I can hardly see the blower blades turn very very slow. I can stick my hand inside the blower to feel the knob sticking out of the center. I sprayed WD40 at the knob but it did not make any difference. I can’t see the center but I did it by feel.
What can I do to get it to turn and to stop making that awful noise? I have 3 kids and would appreciate your help
I may need to uninstall it. How can I do that?
How much does it cost normally to replace it, if need be?
Thanks in advance for any help
