Generator Fan Motor

[Leroy Eckert]

When I reworked my complete generator bay 4 years ago I purchase the whole thing, motor and squirrel cage assembly from BB. As I recall about $200 new. That was then, who knows now.

Have you considered having the motor reworked?

Update on generator fan

I checked voltage and had voltage on both sides of cap and going to the motor. I replaced the run capacitor and it did not start. I gave it a small push start and it started turning and ran for 5-10 minutes then came to a stop.

I had a 50/50 chance that I would be that lucky. I pulled squireel cage assembly out and put it on the workbench. From the time that I had run the generator to the time I got unit to my work bench was an 1.5 hours, and the motor case was still very hot, so it makes me think there is something wrong with the windings in the motor, so I will be out looking for a new motor.

I got a replacement at an electric motor specialty house (located in Oakland, CA). I can probably find the receipt with the name, if you want, but there's closer (and probably cheaper) alternatives. Perhaps Tom McCarthy will check in as he got a replacement fan in Southern California.

Just check your yellow pages under "electric motors" and you'll probably find a place that can get you a near-exact match. There's been a lot of changes in the electric motor business with companies being bought and sold, merging, etc. So it's sometimes a little tricky finding the exact duplicates -- but they're out there.

Has anyone replaced and where did they find the motor.  Mine has a part number of 5KCP39KG3186S and on grainger there is one that is close, but does not have the same mounting.

 

Thanks again for all the help

 

[P & D]

Thank you for all the info, I ordered it
from Grainger today and will be able to pick up tomorrow, so I will

Know more soon.

Thanks again, awesome information

The invoice shows the following for our '87 PT38: Gen
fan motor 1/3HP - A.O. Smith - D1036/X003 $69.12. . Capacitor - 5-370V $3.75.
Wheel (fan) - D10-10x1/2 $32.54 Clean, paint, assembly $45.00.



I took the gen housing/motor, fan, etc. assembly to an Electric Motor Sales
& Service shop. One that rebuilds home furnace housing/motor/fan
units. They are the same as what's in our homes.
