Stove is 13 years old and the bearings got noisy. Local stove shop had a new motor for $125 out the door. New box says Regency made in Canada. Only issue it came with bare wires, not quite plug-and play

The new motor is installed, old motor is out on the desk. The 3 connectors i added are on lower right. Also I had to add the black tubing that covers the wires. Actual wiring only took 5 minutes but for 125 bucks they could have added that stuff, not everybody has insulated spade terminals and 1/2" wire loom kicking around.

I kept the old motor, at some point i will try to take it apart and find new bearings. Anybody know where to find them? Blower motor for a Regency i2100
 
Probably lots of places to get them but I know of this site- http://eurtonelectric.com (bought brushes for my car's sunroof motor recently)
 
Might want to hit that new blower with a drop of synthetic motor oil every once in a while. Last forever perhaps.
