  • Tighten blower mounts: Access the Combustion Blower Assembly and tighten all mounting screws and brackets.
  • Clean blower wheel: Remove any debris from the blower wheel that could cause imbalance.
  • Secure loose components: Inspect internal sheet metal baffles, control boxes, and piping clamps. Tighten or add screws where needed.
