I have 2001 Castile and I had issues with the Combustion Blower stalling, failing to start and squealing. Time for a new motor.
I looked up the part number and find a seller on Ebay that is selling a replacement. I order and wait and wait and wait it finally arrives. I take out the old motor only to find the new one has several differences.
Old motor 115VAC, 0.5Amps, 11 blade impeller,leads plug directly into motor
New motor: 115VAC, 1 Amp, 9 blade impeller, leads on motor.
I was sold on the new motor because it was a direct replacement.
Can someone shed some light on this. Did the design change? Will this new motor work?
Thanks,
Dave
