Blower Wheel, 0150P00005S

The blower wheel fan in these units separates at the motor shaft due to age and use, resulting and a loud rumbly clatter. Crazy but true -- the rubber grommet thingy that attaches to the motor shaft literally shreds in two. The good news is that it's a fairly straight-forward replacement once you get the unit out of the wall, which you must do, so have a buddy close by unless you're Lou Ferrigno, and even then have a buddy close by because you'll want to place the whole unit up on a sturdy table for easier access. You must take off the TOP cover, then remove some more screws and carefully bend back the internal curved shroud to remove and replace the fan. Remove the upper screw on the motor mount and bend back in stages as you remove the fan. Again, have a buddy because it's a four-handed and two-brained operation. You also need a long blade T8 torx screwdriver to tighten to the motor shaft -- old version had a hex key set screw design. So you also need the correct hex key. Muster a good amount of patience and don't give up. Believe me, it will fit. I got the matching bushing but the old one was still okay, so I just regreased it. Also tape shut the vent door in the rear of the unit if you don't use the fresh air feature -- that's a real energy saver and it keeps out insects. Works like a charm now. Thanks, Supply House!

Rubber bushing failed after 23 months.
