The blower motor on my furnace starting squeaking/squealing intermitently several days ago. It has not done it since to note. According to the owners manual no periodic lubrication is needed to the blower motor. Apparently it's a closed system. I took the blower assembly out and removed the motor to clean and inspect it (as well as the fan) and there are two small pins that pull out of the motor which reveal a long hole. Appears to me that it's exactly what an oil port would be as I have seen described online.
I moved into the house when the furnace was 8 years old so i doubt it is a replacement motor. I don't want to put oil in them if that's not what they are for for fear of possibly damaging the motor. I did extensive research online with the model number of the motor and I was unable to find any information if that motor has oil ports. I called GE (who makes the motor) and the 5th person I was transferred to told that Trane deals with their blower motors now. (what?) I called Trane and no luck there. I took a picture of the pins on the motor while in and removed. If there is a way I could send a picture to you I will do so.
The furnace is a Lennox Wisper Heat G2003/4E-100-3 and the blower motor is a GE 5KCP39NG R192S. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
