So the fan motor bearings were squeaking before winter I oiled them and it stopped squeaking
Now I was gone for a week and fan didn't spin.
I come home and they are really squeaky. Oiled again and they are quiet.
I'm thinking I should just buy a new motor?
Anyway to decipher what I currently have?
Fasco 8557?
I think it is a 1/2 HP?
Also I noticed that there is a capacitor and a manual fan switch wired in line between the furnace board and the motor.
It is and has been on the slower setting I think for the last 2 years.
Should it be toggled to the high setting for AC?
