Troubleshooting Guide c. Check to see if the blower wheel is adequately supported by the outside bearing plate assembly. The outboard end of the blower wheel should be firmly supported, allowing no movement other than rotation. If that end of the wheel can be moved front to back and up and down, remove the bearing plate assembly and check the bearing for damage or excessive wear. Replace parts as needed. Use care in handling the blower wheel. Do not distort the wheel blades. On reassembly, insert the outboard wheel shaft into the bearing plate then position the plate into the cabinet. The blower wheel should be positioned so that the clearance between the ends of the wheel and the adjacent walls are approximately equal on both sides. If the wheel is too close it may drag on the wall. Too much clearance at the outboard end may cause the wheel shaft to slip out of the outboard bearing. d. Check to see if the motor mounting bracket snap tabs are in place or are loose. Look into the four base slots to see the tabs. If the tabs are not in position, use a screwdriver inserted into slots to push the tabs out of the slot. You may need to twist the screwdriver slightly to disengage the snaps. Inspect the mounting bracket; replace it if damaged. Check for broken mounting tabs, distorted bracket (because of excessive heat). A distorted motor bracket normally indicates motor overheating. The motor should be replaced. e. Check to see if the motor is loose in the support bracket by holding the bracket and trying to move the motor. If the motor moves, remove the mounting bracket to check the isolator pads Insure that the isolator pads are in position. Replace if the motor moved while being held in place with mounting bracket. 11
