2426W Tender whistle Problems!!

I found the problem...the brushplate was screwed on too tight and making the motor work harder than normal.  So I loosened the 3 screws and now it works great.  Thanks.

Yes, it sounds like the motor could use some lubrication, in most cases the cause of a noisy whistle. Remove the shell, place a couple of drops of oil on the armature shaft. Be careful not to use too much as you don't want oil to get on the brushes. Also on the other side of the whistle housing you will see the impellers. You should be able to find a brass bearing that sits  directly behind this part. Using a needle point oiler, lubricate this area with a few drops. Run up the motor distributing the oil around these parts.

Hopefully this will do the trick!

My diecast tender's whistle does work, but sounds awful.  Sounds like metal grinding or something like that.  Sounds as if it needs to be oiled or lubed.  Where are the oil points and lube points on this tender??  Everything else looks great, no rust or dirt, just a wierd sounding whistle.  Thanks.
