1987 Lopi Premier Answer Series PA5 - Blower Replacement

[manumoomoo]

Hey All,

I have been looking for a blower replacement for my stove and can't seem to locate one. I have done quite a few searches and browsed the forums to see what I could find.

I am not having any luck.

Does anyone have any ideas of where I can get a replacement?

Happy Heating!

Sometimes you need to substitute a more common blower that is still available. Have you taken the blower and motor into an electric motor repair shop to see if there is a common replacement? Graingers online is also a good place to look for a generic replacement.

We just purchased the house and the blower was no where to be found. So I don't have one to take in. Thanks for the suggestion.

Can you post a picture of where the blower mounts and a some dimensions for the mounting hole?

The wholes look to be 2 3/4" on center. The front looks like the attached.

Apparently there is a rear blower too?

The stove body may have doubled as an insert option too. The Answer insert has the front holes. This is the blower kit for the current unit.

Thanks for the confirmation. It can double as an insert.

Okay, what size screws attach this blower to the stove? Ordered the blower and they did not come with it.
