My father in law purchased this Traditions by The Earth Stoves a few months ago. The combustion blower is gone, the previous owner said it would cost about $250 for a new one. I looked into a couple of different companies and they want $550-600+ for this 90 cfm draft fan. The part # 38122. These stoves were built from 1998-2000. The stove is in really good shapefrom the outside. It is black enamel and has beautifully clean glass. the burn pot is absolutely huge and looks like 1/2 inch steel. He took the rear panels off and we unveiled the access panel for the exhaust passage that comes after the blower motor. The thing was caked up with ash! I think as much as half way full if not more, no wonder the thing failed. The motor was still spinning very smoothly so we both agreed the best thing to do would be to take it all apart clean it all (it was all extremely dusty), take the motor off and try to clean it as much as possible then give it a test run. He will bring the motor to his buddy to have it tested before buying anything. My question is, could this motor be that much of a rarity that it's worth over $600 to some people? It just seems like there should be an aftermarket part of some sort that could fit this thing. All I could find were Lennox original motors to match that part.
