installed a new blower about a month ago and it already dead.
was working fine go back to the stove an hour later and its a no go
is there internal breaker inside it.?
seems it should have lasted longer then that. junk

Did you make sure it is still getting power? If you spin the blade, does it keep spinning?

it spins.its not seized.has power going to it

Perhaps it thermally overloaded and will come back on when it cools?

Only other thing that comes to mind when I was in high school I worked at a place that just had piss poor supply for electric. Sometimes I seen the juice below 100 volts,  or barely over 200 on what was supposed to be 220/240, single phase motors did not last long if underpowered, makes em run hotter as they pull more amps. Started to switch everything over at that place to 220 single phase to 220 three phase voltage inverters with built in compensation for low voltage, end of eating motors constantly.

got it.was the start capacitor.2.00 fix.thnx guys

From practically everything being three phase on the farm anymore I forgot all about those pesky capacitors.

Even my wire welder and plasma cutter are three phase.
