Exhaust Fan Quit


Val

Recommended Posts

Hi Val,

 

Check for power to the fan first.  If the circuit breaker has tripped, or the cord has become loose at the receptacle, it may just look like a failure, but be easily corrected.

 

Assuming that the motor failed, get all the motor data from the nameplate and seek out a shop that supplies electric motors in your area. You may have a motor rebuilding shop in your area that may be able to replace brushes, rewind the motor, or replace bearings, and getting it working again.  That can be the least cost solution.

If worse comes to worst:

Currently $175.75 at kilnparts.com

 

I did notice in the picture at the link that the cord has a switch.  It could be the problem and checking it   Of course you may not have the Skutt Envirovent.

For kicks, I Googled Fasco Model A073 and got a bunch of hits.

It looks like you can add appliance and HVAC suppliers to the search list, or chance EBay.

 

Look at this Ebay ad and see if your motor data matches up:
