Help with Tunze propeller

[badgerlaw]

Last night I heard my Tunze start squealing. So today, I took the Tunze apart and found that on one of the units I can't take the propeller assembly out of the unit. What do I do to clean it?

Problem is I can't even take the impeller assembly out.

Have you tried soaking it in vinegar? Also, if you haven't already, you may want to post in the Tunze forum you may get better responses.

Hmmm....I would post in the Tunze forums, Roger is a great guy and will def. be able to help you out...

I have been soaking the unit for about 2 hours and it seems like it is freeing it up a little. Thanks. I will try the Tunze forum.

Yeah, when they get stuck in, you have to soak them out. Sometimes can take several hours.
