42" Barrel Fan motor quit should replace or buy new fan?

You would think the motor would be the cheaper way to go.

Pictures.

depends on which is less cost.

Will need make/ model #, to check if new motor is available.

Can you disassemble to find a p/n? Or do you know what model fan it is?

Find the name plate on the motor....get the specs such as HP, voltage, shaft dia., mounting bracket, etc.

There are many sites that sell motors....google is your friend. If you don't want to spend that kind of money call local salvage yards or better yet HVAC shops for a used motor that might work.

ps. shaft dia. is important along with proper HP to match requirements. Most motors can be adjusted 120/240 volts but some can not. Also rotation is adjustable but you have to be able to read wiring diagram inside the name plate.

Good luck.
