Just wanted to chime and say thanks so much to everyone who helped me out in this thread. You guys saved me so much money and stress. The repair person I was speaking with estimated it would be $350 for the part plus labor. I got the motor for just $110 with tax and had it installed in about an hour. Both HVAC specialists I spoke to also advised me to just replace the entire AC unit rather than just the motor, and they both estimated it would be $1000+ including labor for a whole new unit. I am very grateful for everyone's input and I think I'll stick around the boards awhile! I really didn't expect such a wonderful community. Take care everyone and have a good weekend!
