My exhaust fan on my Foxfire 400 crapped out on me last year right at the end of winter so of course I have been procrasinating all year to replace it. I'm having trouble just finding the motor to replace vs having to pay for the entire exhaust housing. The old motor looks to be a Fasco No. 7021-9038 Type U21B with 1/45 HP and 3200 RPM. I went to a local stove shop and they gave me the housing plus the unit (250-00527 Exhaust combo) and it looks like it would probably work but it cost $189 after tax...I can use it worst case scenario but surely someone out there carries just the motor that I need, looking at Amazon there is all sorts of variance on them and it looks easy to get the wrong one. Anyone ever bought just the motor on these and reused the housing? Looks like I'll need to get a new gasket as well.

I saw some of them too but I was concerned if the 250-00527 Exhaust combo number I had from the store was the actual replacement motor? The person helping me didn't seem to know for certain and I was having a hard time matching up something that had the numbers from what I currently have, the Fasco motor.
