Title: Replace Parts or Not ??
Post by: SGM on December 25, 2007, 09:34:19 pm
Looking for advice, should I replace the condensor and evaporator fan motors beings I have my machine a part?  What about the overload and relay switch(s) on the compressor?  All worked fine before I started this project.

Thanks,

My opinion is : 
The prices of most of the fan motors are not that expensive.  Not that I don't trust older stuff, I don't know about the wiring.  I think it is cheap insurance to replace the wire harness and fan motors on any older machine.  I don't know what to think on the compressor relay,  so far I have not really had to deal with any old units yet.

Thanks Marvin, I do appreciate your opinion as well as everyone elses on this site.  Thanks for taking the time.  I did decide to go with 2 new fan motors.  It's all torn a part now anyways, might as well put a few more dollars into the ole girl, should pay off keeping her running for a few more years.  (I hope  :hopefull:)

Thanks again,
