Need help finding a replacement Furnace Motor.

[Hephaestus29]

My Furnace is a Goodman made in 99, installed in 2003 but still in pretty good shape I think.

It has a GE Motor which is a dead company so I’m looking for a replacement motor if I need it.
I’ve already replaced the Inducer motor a few years ago and it’s already going bad, the transformer is getting pretty HOT.
The inducers are still available.

Anyway, the current Motor is:
GE 1/2 hp CN01 0LPG


Goodman Furnace Model# ? Not really sure which model mine is but I do know it’s a
2 stage furnace.

Thanks for any Help.

Literally any HVAC supply house should have a motor that will work.

normally furnace motors aren't made for specifically for that manufacturer, the manufacturer buys motors that suit their required specifications so it should be readily available

As has been said, securing a motor shouldn't be all that hard.
But I'd want to make sure the heat exchanger is sound before putting any money into the unit. Heat exchangers do rust out over time and leak, and even extended warranty exchangers are only guaranteed for 20 years typically. You're kinda at that threshold. Just be safe, buddy.

This ^^^^^^^
My vintage 1984 furnace developed a problem with the draft sensor. Closer inspection revealed a cracked heat exchanger so that was the deciding factor in getting a whole new furnace. The guys just finished the install a couple of weeks ago. All new ducts too. Had to do asbestos remediation. A specialty company did that. (House was built in 1949)

Big 10-4! I was around when they introduced those "S" shaped heat exchangers. One continuous welded tube bent all around to fit in the furnace, supposedly impervious to leaking as they were all one piece. Well, now we're past the 20+ year lifetime, and I've seen videos of these tubed exchanged all rusted out. Ted Cook does some disassembly of units he condemned and showed the hidden rusted/corroded sections. Basically invisible until you tore the furnace apart. Scary as heck!

Heat exchanger is good. No carbon monoxide detected. I had chapman out looking at it but they didn’t have an inducer motor with them to fix it. I ordered it.

All you need to know is the RPM, voltage, number of speeds and rotation. The shaft on the replacemnt will most likely be too long. 1/2 blower should have 5/8 shaft. Most replacements are easily reversible. Does it have mounting ears afixed to the motor or use a belly band mount.

Take your pick You will have to sort out buy RPM, speeds and what not.

When buying a aftermarket hvac motor do not go by hp by name plate amps. Manufacturers play with amp draws and hp. If your old motor is rated at 6.2 amps and the replacement is 6.1 go to a 3/4 hp motor. 48 frame motors have a service factor of 1 and will trip the thermal overload. Always buy a capacitor with the new motor.

Graingers on line catalogue will get you any kind of motor, just plug in the numbers, rpm, shaft size etc.

Good deal! Just want people to be safe.
