I’m afraid I did not get you right. When you said “impeller”, which part did you mean:
[CENTER]The motor pulley[/CENTER]

[/CENTER]
[CENTER]or[/CENTER]
[CENTER]The blower wheel[/CENTER]

?

[LEFT]If we are talking about the motor pulley, it has a screw which could be tighten.
If we are talking about the blower wheel - it also has a screw which could be tighten and if it would not help then it has to be replaced.
The motor shaft should not play and if it does - the motor has to be replaced.
