[QUOTE="roys, post: 503411, member: 5044"] If they are sealed for life bearings it probably means that the bearings have rubber grease shields on them so oil probably won’t be able to penetrate to lubricate. As said above I would have suspected faulty seized bearings as well. However a bit hesitant after you said it spins freely. Although the unit is broken just now anyway so I would give it a bearing change. At least then that is that possible fault eliminated which on an old heater motor has to be suspect, bearings are only about £4 each anyway. Wild guess is that the bearings might have a number on them like 6202RS, the rs stands for rubber seal or if it is say 6202zz which is metal shield covering the ball race. This is what makes it sealed for the life of the bearing not the life of the motor or hearter. [/QUOTE]
