I would have it serviced to get all the former owners dirt out of the fan housing and inner cover. |

Good deal I think as well.......If it's a one speed, it will be much easier to take apart and clean. I watched that video in question and it doesn't look so bad but there were a few steps that weren't in the video, like putting the gasket back on. I think on Joel's video he had a terrible time getting the gasket back on the his 2 speed. I almost want to buy a used one speed just to tinker? with....the good thing about the E series is most of the parts are compatible with the 2 speed, except the hepa. I also hear the one speeds are really loud
