I have an old AC/Heater that started making a squealing noise from the motor. Yesterday the motor finally died. Since I can not afford to buy another unit like this one I would like to replace the motor. Before anyone starts, I do know how to change a motor in an AC. What I don't know and what I am not finding on the internet is what motor would be a suitable replacement for the one in it now.Here are the specs....AC UNIT - Hampton Bay Model BHAC2530ES0MOTOR - Emerson Model K55HXDDM-6791Volt 208-230Amp 2.0PH 1RPM 1100/1000/90010.0 MFD / 370V CapacitorMFG # E96CFrame 48YJust need to know where I can get one like it.
In order to buy at a supply house that sells HVAC parts, you need to be licensed. Having said that Call Grainger. Give them all the information from the motor which you have above. They should be able to cross match it. You also, need to replace the capacitor when installing the new motor. Ask Grainger what capacitor the new motor requires Here is what I found from information I have at hand .
All great answers,.... all I was gonna say was that Emerson makes a butt load of these motors and a replacement should not be hard to find....
You should have an appliance parts wholesaler in your or the largest nearby town. give them the information and they should be able to order one, option 2 is go to a motor place, (they are becoming rarer these days, and they can usually rebuild or order a replacement motor. But be fair warned that they are not cheap. Many companies dont work on window units because you can replace them cheaper than repairing them. My grandfathers went out so I was going to put new motor in it. I ordered one from an appliance parts supplier threw my companies account at thir wholesale price and it was $167 cost for the part 5 years ago. I could have just bought him a complete new one and saved time and Money. anyways get a price before you order it.
I have replaced these motors before. You basically take it outside and sit it on a nice table in the shade. You have a bunch of screws to remove and you are going to need a long hex wrench to remove the clamps on the fan blades plus a can of coil cleaner to wash down the coils while you have that puppy broke down. Before you install the new motor go ahead and wash down the coils real good and let it dry. When getting the old fan blades and squirrel cage off you will have to move the coils a bit. Be sure you don't break any freon lines. Use a crescent wrench to hold the shaft while you wiggle the blades free. Use plenty of rust buster to get the screws loosened up.
Take the motor and cap to an hvac supply store near you. They will fix you up for about 130 dollars total.
