This video is about Mike Icee replacing a blower motor in a W212 E350 because the fan is making noise and he is sick of the noise! You’ll see a step by step DIY to know what’s involved. Can the old unit be fixed? No, because the bearings are damaged and oiling them will only silence the squeaks for a month or so.

Thanks. The plugs into blower motor resistor btw.
Just replaced mine. 23 minutes total including looking for the tools, the cable tie to replace the one I had to cut off. Super easy. Thanks Mike!
what year mercedes are you working on ??? I have a 2012 e350. Thanks
Good video, would be even better if you stated the year of your car and if it is a 4Matic or not, though I suspect the blower is the same either way. Also a link to the place where you bought yours would be awesome too.
Did you disconnected the battery or any electronic system to do this? Is it as easy as just unpug?
If you are also changing the cabin air filter there are two silver metal clips on each end of the filter bottom and housing. These will be removed with a screwdriver and discarded.
In the US we have two choices for the Behr blower motor, one cost $300, the other $150. Did you buy the cheaper or more expensive one?
I have a 2011 E350 Sedan. How can I tell what part number I need to order? Thanks
Hey Nice video! i want to ask you? My blower motor dont work once and a While (totally dead, cant regulate) but when it work no noise at work (as it Should) is that problem maybe regulator or controlpanel? Fault code says “blowemotor malfunction” but it could be anything maybe? Please help!
Mike, this video just made my day. I'm driving a W212 Bluetec 4Matic. 174,600 miles. Blower motor started to sound like a blown bearing. Now that I viewed your video my confidence just went strait up. Now, to buy a blower motor. Thanks,
regulator??
Just completed the replacement per your instructions, all went smoothly!
Thank you very much, just saved an easy $350 in labor!
Super helpful, most appreciated!
where is the fuse for the blower?
Thank you sensei
Mike, Thanks for taking the time to make and publish this video. I have the cryptic manual pages from MB, with your video I am ready to replace the fan. Thanks again, well done
Very pedagogical and straight forward 10/10
Thanks! I appreciate you leaving the difficult bits in instead of jump cutting to make it look easier than it really is.
Hey! Nice vid. Can you help me with the part number of the motor and does it come with the fan balanced?
So im getting this loud noise but when its out vent its also blowing on defrost outside the car. Only on high setting would this cause that
Any idea why the blower motor might be really loud after replacement
Where can I buy the part?
Mike thanks buddy for the video, helped me change one today.
