Still friken cold here. My neighbors furnace was not firing correctly and finally sounded so bad last night the wife shut down the furnace and left it off overnight. They have a gas fireplace down in the basement so the house stayed decently warm.
I went over and had a "quick" look. The draft inducer/ventor motor was a bit noisy on startup but unlike what the owners had described to me, the furnace fired on the first attempt. Cycled it a few times and shut it down.
Found that the drain from the ventor motor assembly was plugged and the noise was due to the fan paddlewheeling through condensate in the fan housing.
Cleaned out the lines and put it back together and it seems good.
Nice to be able to help out a neighbor in need.
Also have a little project in the basement for a can pantry/wine cellar and a spot for another refrigerator in the basement.
Nice to have a project again...
