    Burnt Rubber Smell Bryant 90+
    I bought this Bryant 90+ with A/C, 2 years ago. It smelled like burnt rubber coming out of all the registers. It has a filter they said only needs to be changed once a year. I have been changing it every 6 months. I took the filter out and it looked good. Since I put the filter back, it has only ran a few times but I can't smell it now. It WAS smelling like a burning fan belt, but I don't think this has one.

    I have usually found that things don't heal by themselves. I spun the fan and could hear what sounded like a flat spot on a bearing but it still spins nice and easy with a finger and spun for a good 60 seconds. I felt around the motor and wiring, nothing felt hot.

    Is my house going to fill with smoke or could it be a fluke, or glitch? Do I need a service call? I had a service call in the Fall.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    ... FOLLOW UP: 7 hours later and it's 20 degrees outside. Has not done it since. Only that one time. Something must have fallen inside the heat exchanger. At least I'm hoping for the best.

    Keep an eye on it. Next time it happens I would call for service.
