94pt 'cool o matic' gally exhaust fan

[Bryan Altier]

Pete,

My cool=o=matic quit this past spring, I checked voltage and found that there was power to the motor but still not running. I took the motor out and was going to replace but the one at Granger was just a little different in size so for $35.00 I had the motor rebuild and it runs like a clock. Are you getting power to the motor?

Kool o matic fan fuse on 94pt is
front overhead component panel circuit block A "sk5"
above driver ,in cabinet block close to street side,

to turn on the fan you need to play wit the center thermostat
try puttining one switch to cool and the fan on auto with the
thermostat on a low temp setting. to have it run on auto you need to
pick cool I guess it keeps from exhaustinng generated heat.
