blower motor weirdness

[LL - NY]

I've used silicone spray on the motor stator when my 200's blower motor
started to fail. But I'm with Huw, I think there may be debris in the blower
cage (not a fun prospect). If you're parking the 200 outside these days, I'd
suspect a mouse may have wandered into the heater blower or something....
