^^^ stove blower I got last year (DEC 14) started squeaking v. loudly. I switched it out with the 2nd one I bought at same time I put the now squeaky one in (see link above).

The model GZ550 (alt. to expensive OEM blower) lasted a year. Maybe longer upon cleaning. Was $25 so I'm not complaining.

Order another $25 blower as a backup ?

Look into lubrication of motor and fan bearings.

Because alignment of all bearings is so critical, I would loosen motor mounts and while running gradually tighten them.
