Englander Convection blower replacement

[dubbz]

My 2011 Englander EP25i goes through a Fasco convection blower about every 3 years. They get super noisey and the bearings dry out . Reoiling only buys me a short quiet period. I'm interested if anyone has real good luck with another manufacturer. The OEM # is PU-4C442. I currently have a Dayton 1-TDP5, installed 2 seasons ago, starting to get noisey. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

I see P-TECH has a substitute for the PU-4C442. Anyone use blower motors from that company?

The bearings are pretty easily replace and are cheap if you haven’t thrown out your old ones, it’s a good way to learn how to do it

Thanks for the reply Washed up. I went that route a few years back. The bearings were cheap but you get what you pay for.

I replaced mine on my 25 PDV two years ago, pretty sure I used non-OEM. If I think of it tonight, I'll look.

Sorry Dubbz, sick child and conferences last night. I'll try again tonight. If you have one close to you, I know I've purchased the motors at Grainger for the auger and room air blower. We have an account where I work so its not as painful as their normal pricing.

No rush Eric. We raised 2 boys. I know the family needs.
