Powertech 15kw cooling fan

[ronmarabito2002]

I replaced my fan motor a year ago. You can purchase a replacement at
any good appliance repair company. It is a 220v motor. You might
have to modify the rubber mountings in the brackets. It is difficult
to remove the fan from the shaft. Soak it well and place the fan on
wood blocks so you can knock the motor shaft out of the fan.

When you replace it, make sure to balance the motor & fan. There are
small metal clips on the fan blades used to balance it.
