Martin wall heater fan problem

[Chuck Wheeler]

I cleaned our heaters and it really wasn't much of a challenge. Granger has
a wall heater that is a exact size for replacement. Appearance is very
similar.

still need help wiring it to the existing coach switches (it
currently only works via remote control), is a lot nicer, quieter,
and works 'way better.

jo-ski and stew i just pulled my heater out and cleaned it. the fan
was not working and i was looking to replace it. pulled it and
cleaned and it works like new. in my research looking for a
replacement i never did find one that was the same size. i must
confess that i didnt look very hard. take the time to pull it and i
bet your results will be the same as mine. its not hard to remove.
make sure breaker is off, its 110volts and will hit you hard if you
forget.
