What I thought was a quick fix, turned into something more!! The leaves and debris from the cabin air filter fell into the heater blower fan when I removed the old filter! The debris caused a fan imbalance, resulting in a very loud fan noise - not good!
I used an endoscope camera to determine that the fan did contain leaves and set out to remove them. Ultimately, I had to remove the heater blower fan to get everything clean.

Getting those back 2 screws out is maddening. Instead, I took the air filter out and stuck a flexible vacuum hose (from a dryer cleaning kit) into the blower motor and sucked out the single leaf that was causing my AC to be extremely loud. Very quick and easy!

I’m a gm tech and the trick is to try and vacuum the leaves before you pull the filter out. Push down on the filter and squeeze a vacuum hose, preferably a skinny vacuum hose attachment and vacuum as much as you can.

I’m gonna try this but worst case do what he did too.

great advice, I changed mine and vacuumed after, I have a skinny dryer and fridge attachment for vacuum that I used after the fact this time, will do it before next time!!

I spent the majority of this maintenance on that right corner screw. Didn’t put it back in. Great video 👍

Great video! Thank you! Wife was telling me to take it in and I’m saying… over my dead body! Ha! I got this.

I know that feeling! Haha. Worst case, you take it in - but at least you tried yourself first. Good luck!

@gordongrecko Год назад

@@ificanfixitsocanyou I got it!!! Problem fixed thanks to your video! Several leafs stuck in blower motor. That back right screw was a real tough one to get out and back in but besides that not bad at all.

I take a piece of plastic sheet made from a plastic cutting board sized for the filter and slide it under the old filter before removal so most of the debris stays out of the fan. Not 100% but I fabricated a 90 degree bend for my shop vac for debris removal.

For debris use a wet/dry vacuum and for odors use a ozone machine .

My Chevy Suburban 2019 making the same noise. I’ll try to vacuum it first then follow your course if didn’t resolve. Thank you for help!

i pulled my filter. dropped some leaves i guess, because when i cleaned and reinstalled, the fan makes a humming noise... theres gotta be a better way than dropping the whole fan assembly.

I read somewhere where you should slide in a piece of cardboard under the filter, before removing. That will catch the stuff that's on top of the filter that inevitably falls, and then you slide that carboard out. I guess that could work?
