Lube the heck out of the fan motor while you're there. A cautious person
would just replace it. I've had the motor replaced twice in 12 years at an
expense that hurt me. I finally learned that this was a use it or lose it
part. I now run the fan at least a couple of times a week regardless of
whether I need to or not. Don't let it get stuck up over the summer.

Cheers,
Doug
