Atwood/Dometic furnace motor updates?
Got a Atwood 8012-II furnace that is starting to chirp so I'm guessing that I'm going to have to replace the motor in the near future here. Looking up the part shows the original motor is part number 36122 which has been replaced by part number 30135. I've seen suggestions that some motors may have been updated with actual bearings instead of just the brass sleeves but no actual hard proof of this. Wondering if anyone out there knows anything about the updated furnace motor part numbers.
I ordered the new 30135 motor from a dealer and the part that showed up says 36122 on it. Would hate to replace the motor with the original unit especially if it's been updated to resolve issues. My motor is only 7 years old which seems like a really short life for a furnace motor.
The dealer assures me that they are all the same parts but you know how that goes...
