Blower fan

[E30andy]

Hey guys!

Question re: my blower fan. It stopped blowing....it blew the fuse. I pulled the blower and it wasn't spinning freely so I blasted it with brake clean and then lubed it with some 3 in 1 lube.

It's spins now but not very freely. My question is how freely should it spin? Like spin it lightly and round and round it goes, cause mine ain't doing that. I know it's hard to explain something like that but any help is appreciated!

Don't want to spend the money on a new one!

Thanks!

Andy

If I remember right, it should spin pretty freely. Sounds like you need a fresh one!

you need a new one. They blow the fuse when they get worn out

if you got it apart and it's balky, just replace it. Not a job you want to do twice.
