Hey everyone,
I am pretty handy, but have never worked on a furnace so I am seeking assistance and knowledge.
I have a pretty old furnace and I am having difficulty with the blower motor. The motor will not turn on. It makes a humming noise and heats up when it is turned on. So by this it tells me the unit is getting power but is defective. Is that right?
Secondly, if I am going to replace it, where can I go to replace just the motor. It is a GE model # 3J522GXG 115v, 5.2a, 1/4HP, 1725 RPM. But I believe it was discontinued. Also to note this motor works on a belt system and is seperated from the main blower unlike most others I have seen.
Any suggestions or thoughts are greatly appreciated.
