Thank you so much for this video!! Local HVAC company was going to charge me $565 for this and I was able to get the part from a local part store for $100 and do it myself. You definitely saved me!

This is lovely - sounds very much like an accordion. Your playing is excellent!

Make sure there isn't something obstructing the vent before assuming the blower is bad. It will show the same code and symptoms if the vent is partially plugged. Sudden, heavy snowfall can do it.

Thank You for the tip about the connectors as well! I see the same issue, and I will proceed accordingly. Thanks again!

Thanks! I am about to do this, and this video is just what I needed!

listening to this beautiful hymn from here in Brazil, in 2024. I'm watching all your videos and here I discovered all these hymns as a child through the Seventh-day Adventist church, my late mother's church. Thank you very much for bringing back such dear memories. thanks for that.

this just started going bad in mine. This vid is great! I have no markings on mine but this is a daton model? Do you know the exact model number of the furnace unit itself?

Beautiful!!! Which Seydel is this?

Sehr schön😊

Tablatura please

I was in a "get it going now" mode, I sprayed a little WD-40 on the fan shaft, it ran down into the armature and lubed it enough for the squeaking to stop. the fan spun up faster creating enough vacuum for the pressure switch to activate. I think I'll keep doing this until it doesn't work anymore.. Good video, I was like... how do I get this apart.

I have been told by several people that the newer Chromettas have screws or bolts, not pins. Do not try to press out a screw!!!

This guys came in clutch today 💯he know his $h!t

Did you get all the parts on colemans website or where did you find the blower assembly with fan and the gasket?

Hi Rex. Great video! This helps a bunch. It looks like I have the exact same heater setup, I just had it installed. Just wondering if you had to change the heater fan speed? My factory setting on the fan speed is set to max, which is way too loud. Did you need to adjust the speed at all and if so how? Thanks!

Sounds lovely!

Great video Thanks

Thanks. 1 year later Your video is exsctly what I need.

can you drop the numbers please?

Very nice! Can you recommend one brand of tremolo harmonica? Thank you.

Awesome playing. For a newcomer to the tremolo harmonica would you suggest a Suzuki instead of a Seydel sailor for playing old style Harmonica with melody and rhythm cords ?

Molto molto bella. Complimenti!

Amazing performance!

Hey rex, what is the black wire from the mother board coming out the left side wired to

The charm of harmonica is my love for orchids. Thank you

Rex: This is awesome! Bravo! I am so glad I subscribe to your channel. Cheers from the States. Jeem

Ich mag diesen Klang sehr. 🙂

Lovely tune Rex! Thank you brother! God bless 🙏😀👍

Saludos desde Ciudad de México.

Rex, that was absolutely beautiful. It brought back a lot of memories. I was stationed in the Army for 32 months, in West Germany. I attended many parties, especially Octoberfest, where this style of music was played. Much fun. Oh my goodness, 54 years ago. Thank you very much.

Great job on this Rex!!

Nicely explained. 👍 Tip: For positioning gaskets like this, just put a little piece of 3/4" Scotch Magic tape at screw hole locations on the gasket, holding it to the furnace. Bam! It goes right together.

Sounding good brother.

OK, Peoples, my furnace combustion blower motor is TEMPORARILY back in service this Sunday afternoon. Mine uses 5/16" hex screws which makes it easier than Phillips like some of the furnaces have. I have an offset ratchet wrench which makes accessing some of the motor mount screws easier. This temporary fix involves using Knock-r-Loose and turbine oil. First disconnect the motor leads and silicone tubing and trim 3/8" from the one that attaches to the plastic cover over the motor as the heat will soften it so that it loosens over time. Next remove the plastic cover and be careful with the felt gasket (which I glued back in place). I used a 5/16" socket with some rough painter's tape on it so I could grip it with thumb and forefinger for the hard-to-get-to screws. Loosen the screw for the motor assembly that is to the right and behind the duct and ONLY loosen it a turn max otherwise replacing it will be a challenge to get the holes to line up.. Remove the other two screws. Carefully push/tilt the motor winding portion downward about a half inch or so. This allows you to be a contortionist with a flash light and spray can straw of Knocker Loose or other penetrating oil of your choice. Just a drop or two on the fan shaft so the oil runs down it. There is a slight dish to the housing with the bushing under it. Repeat several times with a small amount of penetrating oil which, with luck, soak somewhat into the oil-lite bushing. Then I like to use turbine oil as it seems to seep into bushed bearings better than anything else I have tried but motor oil could work; just put a drop on a long screw driver tip and wipe it on the shaft. My experience is that this bushing is the one that seizes on this type of motor; when the motor seizes it does not burn up because they are impedance protected. The heat will vaporize the oil and blow it out the ducting. Carefully reassemble and note that the plastic housing has grooves for the wires. I had to use adhesive to put the gasket in place on the duct. If I need to do this again before the new part arrives then I will drill a hole just big enough for a spray straw and aimed towards the fan shaft. With luck I will be able to insert the straw until it stops at the shaft and then give it a drop of oil to run down the shaft. Some of the part numbers cross over to York so they may have made these furnaces for Coleman. I have a laser thermometer and plan on seeing how hot the duct gets. I hope this helps someone else and I did not mean to steal the poster's thunder with it. A special thanks to Rex G for starting this video.

Thank you for this video. My furnace was installed in '05 and the original combustion blower motor is seized up, on Sunday, just before Christmas, with an elderly lady of 80, health issues, newly broken arm, and in a wheel chair. I am glad I found this video It is 5 days to get a new one and I may as well order the igniter as well. The upper vent tube near ceiling appears to be cemented in place for better sealing. You confirmed that the igniter assembly has to be removed to drop the blower motor assembly. I may buy the door gasket as well to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. I have a carbon monoxide detector near the lower part of the furnace.

Thanks a million you saved me money and time thank you sir greatly appreciated

Your video was so well done, I didn't even have to finish watching it to learn what I needed. You sir are a God send, thank you for your very well made video.

Hi Rex! Just wanted to say thank you for this video.. WOW! Power went out and the reset button was hidden well. Thanks again. UR a lifesaver.

This video may be very helpful to me, as I am having troubles with mine. I replaced the pressure switch which did not fix the problem. I would love to hear what your furnace sound like now. Mine almost sounds like it is clicking when it tries to fire up.

If you have a 16 note tremolo harmonica, the C scale starts on the third blow note.

Was it made in China ? Good thing you got it when you did ! Good info. Thanks.

Hi Rex, Nice tune, well-played as I'd expect. I enjoyed your tone, warm with plenty of trem saturation. I also have a Hohner Echo. I've had a it a few years. It was and still is sold as the Echo 48. I don't know of a model number associated with it. It too is numbered from 2, starting on mi (E). However mine has no hole numbers stamped in the covers. I picked up the hole numbering convention from Phil Duncan's book, Tremolo and Octave Harmonica Method. I had assumed it was his idea to force the tonic of the first full octave to be numbered 4 blow to fit his tabs in the book. I'm trying your tips on a lighter touch when playing to keep the maple mouthpiece from shredding my tongue. I hope it works for me. I think the German-built Hohner tremolos have a sweet sound with strong tremolo response, but I wasn't playing them much. I hope to work it back into my rotation.

I am looking at this video and I am decidedly unimpressed with the construction. Pins instead of screws. A slide top that is not removable. Totally unserviceable compared to a Swan or an East Top. I was considering buying one of these until I seen this video. Thank you for showing me what I needed to know.

Me again. I did what you said, and the harp came apart fine. I bent a couple of pins in the process, but they straightened out by pressing them in a jeweler's vice. I cleaned the valves and put it back together. The only trouble I had was that I was too inept to hold the pin, plate, clamp and nut all at the same time, so I scotch-taped the nut to the plate during re-assembly. Now she plays great, again. Thanks!

I've had an old Chrometta with messed-up wind savers hanging around for years, waiting for me to figure out how to get it apart without damage. Now I know what to do. Thanks.

Thank you! This was the best no-nonsense answer after a lot of looking. I just got a C tremolo harmonica after a relative passed away, and I was ready to dismiss it as I've got a couple nice Hohner octave models, until I played it, and OMG...I had the A below C. I cannot describe the number of times I've tried to play single melodies, and found myself missing that note, great harmonization or no. And like you describe, I have to go an octave up, which doesn't sound good for all songs. So in the end this new tremolo is definitely gonna get use! You're totally right, not the best for chords, but good for melodies. It's funny that playing harmonica involves having a collection of harmonicas. Haha! Each one is a different key, and a different tool for a different job. ;)

Excellent!
