    Hello
    My friend has a weird squeaky sound from his pellet stove.
    See video of noise below

    Do you think a new versa motor will fix it?

    I have a St Croix Hastings that's over 10 years old. It makes a sound more like a whining than a squeaking. It happens randomly, but every couple of minutes it seams. Same problem I wonder?

    Here is a sure fire way to know if the problem is the versa motor:
    When the stove is warm and both fans are running, press the power off button on your control panel. This will stop the versa motor right away so if the noise goes away then replace the versa motor and and oil to the 2 bushings on the rods going from the versa motor to the back of the stove.
    Let us know what you find?
