Motor is frozen.
Unlessyou can find an HVAC shop with a NOS motor for this unit you will notfind a drop in replacement. Even if you do get lucky and find a NOSmotor be prepared to pay nearly as much for it as you would a whole newevap cooler.
That said, there are motors out there that will work, but you're going to have to make them fit with custom mounts.
It'sstill a little spendy, especially if you want two speeds like theoriginal motor had, but you can get out for $80 or less if you'rewilling to settle for one speed (on/off).
boatandrvaccessories.com has a "Packard 40066" compressor motor for $69 plus $13 shipping. It may work but has only one speed.
Basicallywhat you're looking for is a "48 frame", 1/8 hp, direct drive,110-120v, 1075rpm, 1/2" shaft diameter and around 3" in length (to giveyou flexability when mounting), "totally enclosed" or "open drip-proof"housing (NOT "open"). Rotation can be either CW or CCW as you can mountthe motor on either side of the housing and some motors are reversable.If you've got the skill to custom make some mounts then you canprobably fudge some of these specs. The ones you can't change are the1/2" shaft and the RPM. Do not exceed 1075rpm. The blower assemblysimply can't be made to go much faster in that housing and if you tryyou will overheat the motor and burn it out very quickly (trust me onthis one!). Most of the cheap motors I've found are 208-230v and I justdon't see the point in having a small 220v PORTABLE evap cooler, that'sjust dumb.
After a LOT of online research I've found thefollowing motors that would be a suitable replacement, with all theabove mentioned specifications. I'm sure there are more, but crossreferencing this information for someone not in the business is trickyand time consuming.

Good reading for selecting a replacement motor:

Isuppose that if you found a smoking deal on eBay for an "Open" typemotor you could try it, but I doubt it would last long and make damnsure that ****** is grounded well.
