Just read on the motor and get the volts,RPM and amps and this will get you the correct motor.

SOURCE: I thought the blower motor

It could be a bad thermostat. remove the front cover, take a jumper wire from r to g to see if the fan will come on, if does then its the thermostat is bad, if don't, then the fan circuit board is bad.

SOURCE: replaced a one speed 230volt 1 phase electric

Look at the old motor and see what the rated rpm was. Next look at the new motor and see if it gives a speed for each wire. If it doesn't give the speed for each wire then look at the rated motor speed. That will be the Hi speed. Hook up the wire that matches the speed of the old motor and cap the other.

SOURCE: Rheem condensing unit fan motor

Could be the fan blade is the issue for vibration. Perhaps the blade was bent or somewhat damaged during failures or during the fan motor replacement process.

Might try replacing the blade. Be sure to install the correct blade. Pitch, number of blades as was on the original unit. If blade was replaced previously, the new blade may be pitched or sized incorrectly.

How to check n see if heater motor is going bad

Bad motor no air moves. Look on the back of the motor If it is a GE X13 and not running you need a new motor. Many thousands Have failed. Our supplier sends them back for warranty by the pallet load.
Factory replacement warranty is 5 years. You have to pay to have it installed. Out of warranty They cost $560.00 plus tax and installation.

My drivers side Headlight won't go up or down. Guess i need to replace motor. I found one on line for a 1990-91 Geo Storm, are they interchangeable? They sure look alike.

Not sure if they are interchangable. Usually the motor is good, just needs a cleaning.

Remove the motor, paying attention to the relationship of the crank that attaches the motor to the light. Remove 3 screws and the motor comes apart. There is a circular copper area that electrical contacts run on the make the motor behave properly. Clean up the copper with fine sandpaper, and clean the finger contacts also. Reassemble and it may work. Check it for proper operation before putting at all back together again...Good luck...Chris

Replaced motor now it will not shut off, it runs with the timer in off position. turn start knob motor starts.timer in any position. will shut off when open door

I am assuming that you installed the motor correctly or the motor would not start and run. Most likely, when the motor went bad it also took out the timer with it, or whatever caused the motor to go bad, also caused the timer to go bad also. Either way i believe the problem is with the timer. You could test the contacts in the timer if you know how to use an ohm meter and read a wiring diagram. My bet is on the timer.

Dryer switch grinds and sometimes starts, most times not

Sounds like the overload switch is cutting out , my gues will be that the motor is going bad. Just replaced mine was doing the same thing.

Front driver auto electric window won't go down. L series saturn 2000

I have an '01' L200. I'll bet the problem is in the switch. I've been through 2 of them. The electrical contacts wear out especially on the drivers side. That's the one that gets the most use right? [no left really]. Pop out the old switch next to the shift lever. Gently pry up the front of the switch, then the rear. It will come out easy enough. The whole thing is one assembly that simply unplugs. It's not the same as the passenger side switch because of the window lock switch, the wiring harness is different, so they are not interchangeable. See if your local junkyard can fix you up with a replacement. Way cheaper than a dealer!

I thought the blower motor on my electric furnace was out so I replaced it with a GE 1075, 1/3hp new blower motor. I still have the same problem though. When the outside unit turns on the blower motor...

It could be a bad thermostat. remove the front cover, take a jumper wire from r to g to see if the fan will come on, if does then its the thermostat is bad, if don't, then the fan circuit board is bad.
