Most likely a bearing. But if the bearing allowed the shaft to drop. Impeller, and maybe gears. Won't know for sure until it's apart. The impeller to disfuser clearance is tight. You're talking thousands. When i worked on PAP units. We would set them up with about .020 clearance. On this smaller stuff, I don't know how tight they run it.

AND it's not even made in Japan. To some people, this is important.

Oh boy, I see vacay slips being handed out....

Trips, in light of COVID-19, requesting that you go easy on our only form of entertainment for the time being?

LMAO!!!

I'm debating on which one of your posts to EW is better. This one or the other one where you mentioned about hurricane season and his office building where they would tell him "essential employees only

"

The impeller hasn't hit the volute, I could see that. The bearings are ceramic, if a race broke open I wonder how much damage they could do to the gears compared to steel bearings. But, you're right. I won't know for sure until it's opened up.

It's vitally important in this time of Covid that we support the differently-abled. EW needs all the support he can get bro!
