[QUOTE="Zippi, post: 1657575, member: 639019"] I just installed a power-vent water heater in my home. It has an exhaust fan that runs whenever this natural gas heater is heating water. Whenever the fan turns on, I get extreme whining on my AM radio, which disappears once the fan stops. The pitch of the whining seems to be at a similar frequency as the sound from the running fan....there is no doubt, in my mind, that the fan is causing the interference. FM reception has little-to-no such interference. Can anyone help me cure this problem? Thank you for your help! [/QUOTE]
