blower motor OOC

I noticed the cabin has been smelling musty especially when the fan's on, worst on rainy days. Make things worst, everytime the fan got turned on, there's a rumbling noise gets louder as the fan turns up higher and went away as soon as the fan was turned off. Finally decided to google and pop open the blower motor and this is what I found today....

You believe this sheet?

The lint clogged up the entire blade chamber, totally out of control! Emptied out all the lint, the musty burning smell and the rumbling noise all gone. 0.5 hr spent saved me over $100 at the st-dealer...

sounds like it's time you start using a cabin air filter in the slot provided, do a search there's a huge thread on it.
