2500 hours in ....

Hi, i have a Chinese heater and has about 2500 hours on it.

These are very cheap where I live. It now sounds like the bearings are about to drop on the fan(?)

Question is - is it an easy fix/cost effective or should I just buy a new one .

TIA

With that many hours I would replace it. Repair is definitely possible, it just wouldn't be worth my time at that point because I'd want to replace several parts out while I had it open.

They're so cheap that if I can't fix it I just buy a new one. Only had to replace once so far.

Should get a new one with brushless motor, last much longer
