After this firing I will take it out again and see if I can replace it. I’m not too familiar with this kind of stuff, can I get a replacement for it at a hardware store? Or is it something that needs to be ordered?

It seems to be this area that I circled. If it’s motor bearing, is it safe to still use the kiln? I’m just on a deadline and I need this firing done by this weekend

I opened it today and this is what it looked like. I took everything apart and vacuumed the little bit of dust in there but it’s still whistling.

I noticed today when I started my kiln for a bisque firing that the vent was making a weird whistling sound. I’ve used my kiln and vent plenty of times before and have not heard this sound. I’ve tried to attach a video but for some reason it’s not letting me upload it. Do vents need to be cleaned? Should I turn the kiln off? Any insight on this would be helpful edit : Here’s a link to the video
