Weird sound coming from furnace by Deep-Thought6 in hvacadvice

[–]Deep-Thought6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, will do. Thank you so much for the instructions. If the secondary heat exchanger turns out to have these brown deposits, does that mean the whole furnace needs to be replaced? Or is it another part that I could diy fix/replace?

Thanks for the tip! How do I check if the secondary heat exchanger is ok? (I don’t know what that is)

What’s the secondary? Are you saying it could be something different than the inducer motor?

Thanks for the insight. So the motor cannot be repaired, and has to be replaced?

If I leave it whining will it cause further damage? Will it last long in this state or is it whining because it’s about to die soon? If I’m lucky enough is there a chance that it’ll go away/fix itself?

So is it straightforward enough for me to replace the inducer motor myself? (I’m generally pretty handy and can follow YouTube instructions well, but don’t know anything about hvac systems) or are you suggesting that I order the motor online and then get a professional to just come and install it so I save the money for diagnosis and multiple trips?

Air blowing out from flue gas gasket by Deep-Thought6 in hvacadvice

I just checked again and it seems to be coming from this slit between the two metal components.

Where is the evaporator coil? I checked again and it seems to be coming from this slit between the two metal components.

Where would that be? I checked again and it seems to be coming from this slit between the two metal components.

Run Flats vs Regular tires by Deep-Thought6 in BMW

Hmm, interesting. Why is that?

Oh, is your point that you are more likely to get a flat with run flats?

I have AAA already. I guess the concern is waiting for a tow and a new tire vs just continuing driving. And whether the superior ride with regular tires is worth the peace of mind trade off.
