Suburban Heater Fan Motor

[csprenger]

Two of our Suburban heaters (NT16SW) have squealing fan motors. Called Suburban at 423-775-2131. Was told the NT16SW is obsolete and was a special build for Wanderlodge. The standard build is the NT16 SE and can be found on the internet, etc.

However, fan motor kit 520949 is available for the SW furnace. It replaces 232877. The kit includes the two gaskets. The 520949 Internet prices vary from mid $60.00s to way up.

I ordered two fan motors. Yesterday, completed the fan motor R&R on one of the heaters. The new motor works great. Looks to be a bearing at each end. The old motor was hard to rotate and binding, bad bushing perhaps.
