New blower specs are a bit different, so I am worried it may not work or have bad performance. Old Blower: 120 V 1.3 A 60 Hz 3400 RPM New Blower: 120 V 1.7 A 60 Hz 3000RPM

HP, AMPS and RPM need to be close to the original __________________ **Always kill the power ** Hot air rises, but heat will always move from higher to lower temperatures. ** Real man shoot in manual. ** If it ain't grounded, it ain't dead.

I'll let you know if any problems develop, but it seems to work just fine. (it was an easy job: remove mounting screws, disconnect 3 wires, remove old blower, put-in new blower, screw back mounting screws, reconnect 3 wires) Last edited by fidel; 10-08-2011 at 01:33 PM.
