Re: [VAL] Heater Fan
Just a guess.
The fan is a squirrel cage type. Maybe it is mounted onto the motor shaft
with an allen screw which holds a key-way tight to the motor shaft.
Also, maybe there is a threaded bolt and washer that screws into the end of
the motor shaft holding the squirrel cage tightly onto the motor shaft. If
you can see the end where the squirrel cage would pull off the motor, you
might be able to see a "key-way", but then again you may have to remove the
bolt and washer screwed into the end of the motor shaft as described above.
IF there is a bolt and washer holding the squirrel cage pressed onto the
shaft of the motor you most likely will NOT be able to SEE any key-way UNTIL
the washer is removed first after first having removed the threaded bolt on
the end of the motor shaft.
Too much info? ;))
