My heater will start and run for a short while then shut off. When it shuts off it sounds like the power is being shut down slowly, then it stops makes a buzzing sound like the motor is bogged down and quits. It will not start again for a while. The gas will come on but the blower will not start again until after it has sat for a while. Freezing in Arizona, help!

Answer:
You might first try to lubricate the fan motor. Many are 'permanently' lubricated so you can't; but some have small caps at one point on the edge of the motor end caps where tou can put in a few drops of #10 oil.
