![]() Did you try to put some oil into the bearings? Sometimes first penetrating fluid if it is real bad and then some oil, like 3in1 electric motor oil into the bearings will get it going again

![]() I just had that happen myself, well not seize totally but it made an awful squawking sound when it started up. You can take the plastic cover off and put a bit of 3 in one oil on the fan blade shaft, then turn the fan until it moves smoothly. You may need to disconnect your chiller from your system completely and tip it on its side slightly (don't forget its still full of water...I did

![]() thanks for the replies....unfortunately the fan is totally seized up....wont even turn.
I couldnt get a hold of Wendell but the ladies at J&L told me even though the chiller cost $700.00 its cosidered disposable......so I should just buy a new one.....I laughed really hard. They didnt look ammused.....lol I guess I have to find a replacement fan. On a side note....the same time my chller went down 1 of my heaters decided to stay on full bore.......thank god the temp didnt reach more than 83 before I noticed.

![]() I purchased a new fan motor from PCI, cost about 60 if I remember. About 2 years ago. Give them a call or email, they can fix you up
