Beckett AFG developed a squealing/scraping noise when running, pre, post and when burner fired.

Likely causes?

    Something is wrong. Anything from rodent in the burner, to a pump, coupling, blower wheel or motor issue. What have you done to investigate?

    Nothing yet. My health/energy is not great these days. I planned, maybe, to disconnect the motor from the pump and briefly run it. If the noise continues, it's the motor, if not, likely the pump, blower wheel or something.

    I think it is pretty safe to try that.
