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...

If you are mechanically inclined and you can tell the shafts and bushings are fair too good.
Our 2005 Coleman blower shafts dried and were loud in 2016. Motor shafts were stuck on both motor ends. Both sintered bronze bushings released by drilled rivets holding them on the motor ends. Cleaned dried grease from both shafts and bushing to release from both ends. Heated both sintered bronze bushings and dipped in grease and allowed grease to cool. Put bushings held back on motor bell ends using small screws rather than rivets. Reinstalled the motor on the AC and has been working for about 8 more years.
I think a replaced motor back then about something like $180.
Much more than about 2 hours for my time and no $.
