Power Tech 15KW Motor & Blower

[Hisham Amaral]

Gregg I bought my 97 43' from Florida Last year. I found a bill the previous owner paid for the Blower motor and the capacitor from Grainger. The motor part number is 3M957 1/3 HP 230 V $83.90 The Capacitor part number (5MFD 370 VAC)is 5M003 $3.70 Best of luck, Sorry this toke long to get you the information. Hisham Amaral 97 WLWB 43' W.

I removed the whole assembly and took it to an electric motor shop where I asked them to fix or replace the motor and rebalance the fan (look closely and you'll see little bits of metal bent around some of the blades in the squirrel cage). They found a replacement motor (as the OEM unit was long out of existence), installed it, checked the balance of the fan, and painted everything. I reinstalled the assembly in my coach. I don't recall exactly what I paid (I'm on the road) but it was about $500 or so... about double what Tom McCarthy paid in So. CA. (Typical SF Bay Area prices, though...) Since you're in the middle of the country, you'll probably find a more reasonable-priced vendor. Note: keep in mind that the motor is a 220 vac motor.... Also be sure to check the capacitors, if they should fail, it might seem like the motor is dead, when it is not.
