Replacement Blower Motor & Fan

[Drap303]

Hey All,

Having a tough time on which replacement to purchase here. Looks like my original blower motor was a FASCO 231916. I can't seem to locate any replacements and as far as compatibility goes - don't see any verbiage anywhere online like "Compatible with" like you typically do on stuff. Any links (would love Amazon) that you can provide to help me find a good replacement motor and fan for my furnace? Would love something that runs quieter.

Thank you!

Have you tried calling FASCO to see if they have a compatible part? It looks like that motor is no longer available. Here's their customer service number 1-833-734-2500

I would remove the motor, check to see if the shaft is sceized. If so, work some 3 & 1 oil around the shaft and bearings to free up the shaft. Never use WD-40! Make sure the shaft is free and turns easily. Connect the motor to 12-volt battery and see if it runs. If so, you are good for another 10 or so years. If not, depending on one's mechanical and electrical skills, open the motor for more in-depth surgery. Likely you will find the brushes or armateur fowled or scored. Deciding on what to do next is a decision to be made based on what one finds.
