It would not be under under warranty because the installer had a great idea which caught the blower motor on fire! Family. That isn't much of a concern, he bought a new one, I get to put it in. When he left after Christmas he thought the coil had to come out.
It doesn't. The manufacturer is spot on, but my unit mounts in a closet and the only way to remove the blower assembly is take the unit all the way out, unless I destroy the house. No access to the side screws in step 8. Tight corner closet, might as well renovate the bathroom too!
Step 9 is a no go because of step 8. The motor is out, had to remove the band around the motor, disassemble, and it barely squeezed out past the liquid and vapor lines.
Now I have to put it all back in, including cutting the shaft on the new motor. It's a bit long to fit.
Thanks!
