Open Roads Forum  >  Tech Issues  > Where to purchase A/C fan motor This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  TimLoon • View posts With the 4 Granddaughers in CT Senior Member Joined: 07/21/2003 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 05/03/11 04:03pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Will be purchasing a 2 year old fifth wheel this weekend and the only thing I found to fix is a frozen up rooftop A/C fan motor. In case it can't be brought back to life where is the best place to find one. I had to cahnge this motor on my last fifth wheel and found the motor on Ebay, none there now. Thanks for the help.

They have plenty but I don't know the price range you are looking for or the model of the motor. 04 Dodge RAM Quad Crew Cab 4x4 08 Jayco Eagle 322 FKS, Hensley Arrow, Prodigy Controller Wife and myself, Lutheran Deacon, Oreo the Malshi, and maybe a grandkid or two ScottG • View posts Bothell Wa.

Go up on the roof and force the fan to turn. After that it will run fine. Scott, Grace and Wesly 2003 Dodge 3500 4x4, 6 speed Cummins (lightly bombed), 2004 Forest River 25RKS many, many mods.

Could only get it to turn with some force. Would not turn free enough to run. I remember last time that this job was a real pain. wolfe10 • View posts Texas Senior Member Joined: 10/08/2000 View Profile Offline Posted: 05/03/11 06:11pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator What brand A/C? Any identification on the motor? It could just be a bearing (if it is indeed bearinged not just bushed). I replaced a bad bearing on my Carrier A/C condenser fan last week-- cost of bearing $7.65.

I know that sounds terrible but it's just the way they are. They will go for many years this way. You can get a new motor assembly on Ebay for $128 but next spring you'll be in the same boat and it just isn't necessary. mosseater • View posts Dillsburg, PA Senior Member Joined: 10/19/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 05/04/11 12:16am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator MSC, WW Grainger, McMaster Carr, Sid Harvey just to name a few. I agree you may be able to loosen it up and nurse it through for a while. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. Get some good lube in it and see how it goes. If it has shaft play you can feel ( up and down, not end play) it may be best to change it. When the air gap goes between the rotor and the stator, it's used up. Time for new bushing/bearing, or new motor.

We are like a Graingers and McMaster Carr. I also did RV servicing for many years and I can tell you that the motor you will need will possibly not be available from me or the other places. The motors in some RV roof-airs have special threads in the outside case that match up to the motor mount where the mounting screws go. It is these special mounting holes you won't find in a non OEM motor. I have always needed to go to the RV roof-air manufacturer or their authorized service center for the motors. kampinguru • View posts Ontario Senior Member Joined: 10/13/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 05/04/11 11:39am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator What is the preventative maintenance that keeps this from happening? 2000 F-250 S/B 4X4 2005 Cedar Creek 30RLBS Pullrite Superglide 16K chipper • View posts Nampa,Id Senior Member Joined: 10/31/2002 View Profile Offline Posted: 05/04/11 04:25pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator When you get ready to oil it, go to a automotive parts house or a sewing machine dealer & get some silicon oil. gene This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Open Roads Forum  >  Tech Issues  > Where to purchase A/C fan motor
