re: #200 Backwoods_Sleuth

blower went out on our pellet stove a couple of Sundays ago.
We were ableto swap in the pellet stove from our shop and used that the two days it took for a new part to be ordered and delivered. Didn’ trealize it needed a new gasket, so a trip was made to Auto Zone in the next county for for high heat resistant gasket material and we did a DIY cut (just like the old days doing car repairs!)

Otherwise, easy peasy repair.

Hope yours is just as easy peasy.

Straight swapping of the motor doesn’t look to be that big of a deal. I have the blower unit dropped out of the furnace; that was the easy part, two screws and it just slides out. I need to snap a couple of pictures of all the wires to make sure I get them all back on correctly, then unplug/disconnect everything, haul the unit out of the furnace, and then the swap is pretty simple. Unhook the motor, separate it from the blower fan, installation is the reverse of removal.
