Furnace: P3URC14N09501 (Propane)
Ok.. This is like the 1st week my gas furnace has kicked on since I went to a dual fuel setup and it sounds terrible. When the furnace is running, it's making this vibrating wobbling noise like a motor is running. I thought it was the blower fan, so I ran the fan by itself and it's quiet. The only thing I can think of now is that it might be the draft inducer motor.
A few months back, before I went to dual fuel, when I started my furnace it wouldn't start because there was a dead bird caught up in the fan of the motor. I removed the bird and it ran fine. Now that the furnace is being used because outside temps are just to cold for my heat pump, the furnace is making this wobbly motor vibrating noise.
It's weird because when I stand next to the furnace, it seems a bit louder than what I remember, but it's not this crazy noise I'm hearing upstairs. I only hear it upstairs (1st and 2nd floor .. Furnace is in basement) on the opposite side of the house from the furnace.
Could that dead bird have somehow jacked up my draft inducer and now the problem has started with this noise, or could it be something else?
