Hello,
I have an ancient sunbeam wyandotte gas furnace which had the fan motor go bad (fan pushes the air through the vents). It was so old I had to use a different motor as a replacement.
1725 rpm
1/6 hp
115 volts
service factor 1.35
the only difference is the amperage 2.9 vs 5.1 max draw.
The furnace works now, but it seems like the flames will fire up, then after a minute or two the fan kicks on to circulate the air. the issue is, this seems to knock the flames off. I have no idea if this is normal, but it seems like it'd be pretty wasteful, so I suspect it is not working optimally.
Any ideas would be appreciate, thanks in advance.
