My Honeywell space heater suddenly started making grinding noise?

Question

Alright so my space heater has been working for awhile and occasionally every now and then would make small grinding noises that would easily go away by tapping the heater or turning it off. Until one day I came back from school turned it on its grinding loud out of no where and idk what to do. I didn’t wanna leave it on and experiment with it due to the noise. Any suggestions here please?

if its like my space heater there is a fan behind a pannel which has heater coils in front which you can see. The fan blows air from behind the heater through a vent and across the heater coils to project the heat into the room and also keep the heater coils from overheating and melting. If you feel comfortable doing this I suggest unplugging it and remove the rear panel or whatever you have to to get to the fan. likely it has a bracket which has become warped over time from the heat and allowed the fan blade to rub against the housing. Once you get to the fan you can turn it by hand and should be able to see where it is hitting. Likely you can bend the brackets back into place by hand or with pliers. Also something else may have come lose inside and it hitting it. Either way it should be obvious once you take it apart and you should either be able to fix it easily and resemble or see that its more of a problem than you thought and trow it away.
