Cool-o-matic fan motor

[jacwjames]

I have a 2002 Monaco Windsor with a Cool-o-matic ceiling fan. I pull the rig out of storage and the fan would not start.

Checked voltage from the thermostat, it was OK.
Check the 3 speed switch, it tested good and voltage was passing through it.

Initially the motor would not start but after fooling with it started to run but at a slower speed. Took the motor apart and cleaned it, the brushes were sticking but I blew them out with compressed air and they seemed to be free. The armature is the problem, it is wore down quite a bit. I cleaned and ran a utility knife through the grooves. Reassembled and the motor worked better but not as it should.

I am looking for a replacement motor. The original motor was a Fasco 2819-531-003N but I cannot find one.

Anyone has a replacement for fan???

Jim,

Read through this web site page as there is a "close" replacement motor that this guy found at NAPA that worked for him.

Richard,
Thanks for the link. I did investigate this motor and read on other forums that it pulls higher amps.

Looking for an alternative motor if one exists. Hopefully someone will chime in, surely others have had this problem and found a solution.
