BT Cruiser ac fan motor

On our 07 BT Cruiser the Dometic penguin fan motor is going out. Anybody know where is the cheapest place online to get one?
Don't want to spend too much.
Thanks for any help
  • Probably google the part number of the fan motor.

    BTW. What makes you think it is going out?
  • Fan shaft has play causing it to vibrate excessively. I can move shaft more than 1/8" in and out and has some up and down play, you can see squirrel cage not turning smooth but has a bounce to it.

    If you have a Bearing Warehouse nearby, or an electric motor Rebuild Shop, you can get bearings and rebuild it. There's a thread here where an OP replaced the sleeve bearings in the blower on his Coleman with ball bearings. With a will there's a way.

    If you want help sourcing a motor at cut rate, we need a part number or at least the model number of the A/C unit.

    An A/C and appliance repair store might be able to "match it up" at a slightly lower price than through an RV parts outlet. Would have to not only match physically, but also with shaft rotation and VOLTAGE. I emphasize that because a home A/C of about the same BTU's as an RV unit will probably use a 240-volt motor, while RV's run on 120.
