Unbalaced rotating loads will cause premature failure of motor/rotor bearings. You are correct on your observation to the cause of your blower motor failure.

[@PlanetMojo]

Thanks Da big_Guy! I agree 100%

[@scottrose4800]

Did it work? I’m having same issue

[@PlanetMojo]

I haven't tried it yet. I wanted to hear from Mr Heater first, but they are not responding 😑

[@scottrose4800]

I’m on my second new motor and blade, they are sending me one more and if it doesn’t work they are going to replace the unit. Fingers crossed lol

[@PlanetMojo]

@@scottrose4800 I am now on my second blade, and first motor. I will be trying the new blade in a couple of days, but it's insane how much vibration I'm getting out of these things! Good luck on yours 🤞🏻

[@scottrose4800]

It sure is crazy! Thanks for sharing man best of luck to you as well! Look forward to the update

[@ccrx6700]

That definitely would get it out of balance good find 👍

[@PlanetMojo]

Thanks Dave!

[@ianicus123]

Be interesting to hear if it worked because I've never seen a minor pitch issue on one blade cause any kind of signifigant vibration issue.

[@stephenfanthorpe2708]

You certainly haven’t seen one then

[@JerryF4]

@@stephenfanthorpe2708 I agree. It can cause major damage!

[@mattytheapplianceguy3973]

Yeah you could just bend it down if that's what u think the problem is. Post a video though, y?

[@PlanetMojo]

Because I am trying to find a solution to the excessive vibration and share it with others who may be having the same problem. 😐

[@JerryF4]

@@PlanetMojo I thought that was odd as well 🤔
