Generator Fan Motor

[Curt Sprenger]

The invoice shows the following for our '87 PT38: Gen fan motor 1/3HP - A.O. Smith - D1036/X003 $69.12. . Capacitor - 5-370V $3.75. Wheel (fan) - D10-10x1/2 $32.54 Clean, paint, assembly $45.00.

I took the gen housing/motor, fan, etc. assembly to an Electric Motor Sales & Service shop. One that rebuilds home furnace housing/motor/fan units. They are the same as what's in our homes.

When I checked it while it was installed
there was 220 volts getting to the motor.

Has anyone replaced and where did they
find the motor. Mine has a part number of 5KCP39KG3186S and on grainger
there is one that is close, but does not have the same mounting.

Thanks again for all the help

If your windings on your motor were no good, I would doubt that the capacitor
would keep it running that long.

Since I am not near my coach, I think that the motor is 240 volts. Why
not check it from house supply?

Update on generator fan

I checked voltage and had voltage on both sides of cap and going to
the motor. I replaced the run capacitor and it did not start. I
gave it a small push start and it started turning and ran for 5-10 minutes then
came to a stop.

I had a 50/50 chance that I would be that lucky. I pulled
squireel cage assembly out and put it on the workbench. From the time
that I had run the generator to the time I got unit to my work bench was an 1.5
hours, and the motor case was still very hot, so it makes me think there is
something wrong with the windings in the motor, so I will be out looking for a
new motor.
