need a new fan
« on: October 23, 2016, 05:06:22 PM »

Had a blower motor failure while starting up for the season. Luckily I had a spare motor on hand.. However I was unable to get the old squirrel cage off the old motor without damaging it so I need a new one,, should I call p&m or is there another avenue I can go to get one ASAP.?

 This will be my third year operating the BL 2840. Last year I went to the local HVAC supplier and they ordered the exact same blower for me. I now have a spare which I wired a receptacle to be hot when blower was called on.  Now if my blower goes out during the winter I can just unplug one and plug the other in its place.

I keep a spare fan and motor on hand for when it decides to die.  As with any moving parts, it's not a matter of if, but when it will fail and it will only fail when it's -40 outside, not in the middle of summer.  It's been going strong for 4 years and counting, but I know it won't last forever.
