the ever controversial "DASH AIR"

[fl_bluebird_1983]

I'm trying to fix the troublesome dash air. Does anyone know if BB
still carries replacement parts for the roof condensor, or maybe a
better cheaper source. I need one fan motor and two fan blades (what
were they thinking using plastic fan blades). Has anyone replaced them
with metal blades? Any part numbers would be a great help.

Bruce, have you taken apart and cleaned your fan motor? Ernie-83pt40 in
Montana- no dash air

I pulled it last night, haven't tried to clean it yet. Just got home
from work. The shaft spins freely, but won't turn when power up, and
makes squealing noise. I will take it apart to see how it looks.

Anyone know how to test for the type of refrigerant currently in the
system? (R12 or R134)?

I think The filler valves are diffrent sizes, an r12 guage won't fit
on an r134 filler valve. I could be wrong, maybe some can validate
this.

Not an easy task to identify the type of
refrigerant/oil is in your system. If you think
someone may have converted to something else, (and
there are lots of options out there, not just 134a),
you probably have to go to an A/C shop, and pay them
to test it. The equipment costs $700-$1000.

Bruce,

I have found you can take the motors and blade to a good appliance
parts dealer and they can usually match things pretty close.
