Amana 90% Gas Furnace - making a loud noise but blower does not start
Hi,
My furnace blower does not start. It makes a loud electric-like noise, like it is trying to start the blower but the blower does not turn. It does spin freely and there is nothing stuck in it. After I had it off for 20 minutes and retried it, it made that noise and after a few moments it did start up but soon after it just stopped again and the noise came back. I can see through the view port that the gas was burning. Does it sound like the motor?
Thanks for any help.

Sounds like you need a new capacitor. They are cheap, replace it if that does not work then you will need a new motor and capacitor.
