By now, the guy probably was decapitated by the fan blade, due to bad
bearings.




I know it's a very old post. I should have started a new one, since this
is a common issue and a lot of sites have pretty poor information on how
to diagnose. So many folks just assume it's their fan bearings or blades
going bad. On a newer heater (that is less than 8 years old or so), I'd
say that is a pretty poor bet.
