Trying to find a good place to get individual parts for our Atwood Furnace. Need a new blower motor, because this one will sometimes start squealing. I'm assuming these things don't have bearings that can be replaced, and even if they did the shaft could be part of the problem.

In any case has anyone found a good on-line parts supplier?

I have used these guys locally for several situations including an Atwood Blower motor. They are good people.

I don’t remember the brand in my old 5th wheel but it started to squeak and found it was the blower wheel and not the motor. Adjusted the wheel and the squeak went away.

Fixed the Atwood Furnace Squeal

I finally solved the "Squeal" problem myself, after the Atwood factory tech and several others in this forum kept telling me it was a motor bearing. Hey, when was the last time a light duty motor with bronze bearings wore out. Duh, almost never. I suspect many motors have been replaced over what should have been a truly simple fix.

The metal retaining clip ring around the hub of the exhaust wheel cage fan broke and allowed the wheel to migrate inward to begin minor contact with the plastic housing. Moved the wheel back out about 1/32" and replaced the ring clip with one that I got from the NAPA Auto Parts store. (RV supply store sells the clip, but with a replacement wheel for $25).

Hope this helps someone else.
