Well I checked the amp draw of all wingdings as well as the resistance. At 220v the most is 165 ma which is 36 watts, the motor is rated 50 watts. The motor still gets hot enough you cant hold your finger n it at any speed. I also tried a new cap although larger. 5uf. Same problem. The one on it...

Many appliances run on 220v but 220 is 2 x 110v with a common ground. i just moved one side of the motor winding to 110v. The other side of the wingdings get grounded for the 3 speeds..

I found a new 3 speed 115v motor that fits for $20 sipped. I found a way to run it off 115v. Most do use 115v but this one was from Canada. I also checked the operation of the relays that control speed.

As to the cap. Easy enough to change and it was tested with a multimeter and who knows how accurate that is on caps. As to find the part. I found the motor at a manufacture only and its $180 + shipping which will make it > $200. Its a 230v 3 speed motor. 3 speed 110v ones the same size are...

I forgot to say in my original post. I blew out the fan and behind the coils, lot of dust. I also cleaned the fins. Here's the schematic of the motor. I did find one. Cost $179 + shipping.

The Vanes are on the plastic cover where the air comes out, not the motor and they are there to disperse the out air in different directions, but they also impede the air flow and make the air flow louder and restricted. I cant see how removing air restrictions affected the fan on a 2008 heat...

Mini Split Fan overheating I have an off brand Mini Split heat pump. 18,000 btu its a BonAir. I installed it myself. I have had it 9 years. Other than having to have Freon added once due to a fitting working loose., its been running fine, although very loud inside fan. Yesterday I was running...

I built a new one 27ft long, 21ft wide and about 18ft high with a 19ft x 9ft door in front and a 2nd door in back. It sits part on the old parking slab and part on asphalt. I dug up sections and poured cement footers. The driveway slopes back so the front wall is about 14ft and the rear wall is...

Its kind of hard to take pictures of such a small shelter. Its in the closet. It sits 2ft below the bedroom floor on the concrete pad that used to be a garage. I raised the floor to the level of the rest of the house. Its only 3'D x 5'W x 4'5"H. I used 1/8" steel pipe to hold the door from...

I work at home and have a computer in my office, I also have a laptop beside my TV chair and I answer emails almost instantly from 11am until 1am, unless I'm someplace else.

Mine meets or exceeds fema specs.

Thanks but that was 2011. I finished the tornado shelter the next month. I do not remember how many bags I used. I had a cement mixer I bought for $150 3 cu yards that did just fine. I also poured a 4" ceiling everything is tied together with rebar. The door is 2 layers of 2x4 at 90% with 3/4...

Got it today, it is a much better contactor than what was on the compressor. It works great. thank you for the address.
