I have a dyna glo space heater,,over 8 years old,,on starting,,I need to start the fan motor by hand,,it runs well until turned off,,,I removed and replaced the rotor,,checked the motor bearings are free,,,Im not sure if the motor should spin freely,,appears the new rotor is rubbing,,,,when i remove the rotor it spins freely,,the motor has a capacitor,,,anyone know if these torpedo heater fans always turn easy,,,,or not,,it the rotor is suppose to be tight,,maybe I need a new capacitor,,or maybe need to sand down the new rotor,,Or I guess i can take my nut driver to the store and see how free the motors turn on the new torpedo heaters,,thanks,,bob
