Thank you thank you so much for this post.
My fan was noisy and then my fan blower regulator went bad. I purchased a new one and reinstalled it BEFORE reading this post and it lasted for a week before blowing the replacement (a painful $200 lesson). I then purchased ANOTHER regulator and followed the steps for removal, cleaning, lube and re-install of the fan and (knock on wood)...so far it is working great.
Thanks again.

And, for what it's worth, my fan is still silent since the original post. That blows me away!

Thank you, and I highly suggest this maintenance. It will save you $$$ in the long run. Even just having debri in there will cause the bearings to wear faster since the fan will be out of balance. Also, moisture accumulates there due to hot and cold changes, so the bearings suffer with that too and the oil will help prevent rusting.That's a good idea. I still have not replaced my plenum filter. I need to get on it. And for those who don't know what I'm talking about, here are graphics to show what I mean.

Good luck! It kept my fan quiet until I sold it over a year later. I haven't heard from new owner yet, so assuming it's still quiet.

Glad to hear it, hopefully that was the cause of the strain and overheating. Just an FYI, there's also a post somewhere talking about a bad connection on the fuse block, if I remember correctly. That could also cause overheating of the wires.
