Hi,
I have a Ruud Silhouette II furnace and it quit working the other night. The
blower was making a strange sound. The blower started after a few hours but
soon quit. I recently installed a web type filter and believe this may have
caused the problem by causing the motor to overheat. Any suggestions. You
can email me at . Omit the nospam in the address
due to email harvesters.

thanks,
Jim Wiggins

Hi Jim....
The filter probably didn't do it but it sounds like the bearings may be
bad in the motor. It's an easy replacement though and if you're handy
you should be able to do it yourself.
