Mend Johnson & Starley J25 Hot Air Heater

J25 Johnson & Starley hot air system - noisy FAN?

The heater is working but when the fan kicks in it sounds like a cat being strangled for about 5 minutes. It eventually quietens down although it's happening more often. Might it just need a good service and clean? Could a build-up of dust and dirt be the cause? It was last serviced 2 years ago as I very rarely switch the heating on. Any ideas, thanks?

Hi my system has started doing much the same thing for a while, then stopped, did the same thing a few weeks later at 5 in the morning. Then today, the fan motor stopped working. Fault appears to be with the electrical fan motor, which is now died. They do need cleaning as they build up dirt and fluff etc, but it now a replacement unit for me.
Will look to see if I can get the old fan motor repaired, but needs must so a replacment is required now.
I have my system serviced every year and they do build up some crap inside.
