I have a CruiseAir FX10 a/c unit for the forward cabin of my boat. The a/c unit works but the multi-speed fan that blows air at different speeds (can be set by thermostat in which case it operates automatically, or manually) by pressing softkey buttons on the control unit in the cabin, a SMX II control system. The problem lies not with the SMX II control system because I switched it out (it is plug and play wiring) with the larger a/c unit in the boat salon and it operated the blower speeds on that system just fine. I had a technician come to look at it. He said the blower motor was bad and wanted to order a motor and new squirrel cage fan for $600.
I took the motor home and ran some power to it and it seems to spin OK when given 110V power. It has only one set of windings, so I’m not sure how the speed is varied by its control unit. But if it spins in response to power, would it be OK? The motor is a FASCO Type UB, 115V AC, and one can get Taylor Made U63B1 replacement models for $200. Am I being taken or missing something?
