A/C blower motor question..
Here in Arizona. Blower motor lasted about two summers after new Coleman Mach install. Now its making noise and is hard to turn. So i guess if its 115 degrees outside, it must be alot warmer than 11...

That helps alot John.
So that seems like two votes for the AO Smith. I will try to find one of their motors.
The other issue is how fresh is the motor off the assy line? Those sleeve bearings are just soaked in oil so won't they dry out over time?
Also... you guys just reminded me.. I bought one of those EZ Start kits and never installed it. I should dig that up.
Yes, I did return to Pennsylvania for the last summer season. The AC ran, but that is when I started to notice what seemed like blower motor noise. I went up on top the other day, and the motor does spin if you use your hand, but it doesn't spin freely. There is significant friction.
