changed combustion blower...wow

[ironpony]

well I finally had to work on the stove, Harman Invincible circa 1990
last year the combustion fan started rattling a little
cleaned and oiled it , quited down
upon start up this year, was noisier than usual
picked up a replacement to keep on hand
Friday night I could hear it speed up/ slow down
shut down Saturday and replaced
WOW cant even hear it run now
and the fire is alot hotter although it does not appear any different
house went up 3 degrees with no other changes and it colder out
new fan from Harman all ball bearing and appears a little larger windings
also appears this fan fits about all the Harman stoves
I am happy
oh only 118 dollars

Who is the manufacturer of the motor? was it a groan to put in?

 

[ironpony]

not sure, bought a Harman replacement
very easy, I also bought a new impellar because
from cleaning the stove I knew the old one was not coming off
after all those years
for 118 dollars I did not think it would be worth sourcing and
having to swap over cooling fan assy.

does the motor say gleason-avery on it?

That's a lot cheaper than the combustion fan on the Quad 1200i It runs 282.00 MSRP.

Is that typical of the Harman parts that they are cheaper than Quad parts?



Thanks,

actually I was pleasantly surprised
was going to source the supplier but
when I recieved that price I bought it
not sure if they are cheaper in general or not

Wow Ironpony that's a lot of pellets you've got there I've got one of those Dodge Cummins too 96 model.
You sure won't be running out of pellets any time soon. Sounds like you caught the price right!!
