Possible Causes
Worn bearings in Junkers combustion fan, Debris in fan impeller, Failing circulation pump, Loose mounting brackets or casing panels
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and gas before removing covers.
- 1. Check casing and brackets: Tighten all accessible screws on the casing and mounting brackets. Loose panels can resonate.
- 2. Fan inspection: Remove the combustion chamber cover and inspect the fan. Clean any debris from the impeller. If the fan wobbles or is noisy when spun by hand, replace the fan assembly.
- 3. Pump check: Listen to the circulation pump. A grinding or loud humming noise indicates worn bearings. Replace the pump cartridge or pump assembly.
- 4. Isolation mounts: Ensure rubber mounts or grommets on fan and pump are intact. Replace if hardened or missing.
