Where to find blower motor for air handler

[DAA]

This morning was a lovely morning to have the blower motor on the AC/Furnace stop working. I've had good luck getting parts at Appliance Parts on California Ave. and they were the only place I found open today. But the soonest they can have one for me is Thursday. Online sources look to be no sooner without crazy shipping costs on already too expensive part.

So, worst case, no AC until Thursday. It doesn't bother me all that much. But it bugs the holy living shit out of Cindy. And Thursday sounds like a long, long time to live with her without AC. It's been less than a day and I conveniently went metal detecting today, so wasn't here most the day, and it's already feeling like a long, long time to live with Cindy without AC.

Any and all suggestions for who I can try calling Tuesday morning to track down this blower motor will be greatly appreciated!

Furnace is Armstrong Ultra V Tech 80, G1N80BU125D20C-1A

Motor is an Emerson K55KXKPZ-9741 which appears to have been replaced by Armsrong/Lennox/Air Ease/Ducan, 56W67

Hoping the fact that replacement 56W67 appears to cover a lot of units will mean there's one on the shelf somewhere local on Tuesday morning!

Armstrong is a rebranded Lennox.

I can call and get you a price Tuesday morning on that motor for you, if they have it in stock. They won’t sell to the general public.

Cindy just needs a swamp cooler from Home Despot…


I can feel that wife anger from all the way over here.

That would be awesome. I'm still at ate oh won fiver nine nine oh fiver thirtyseven. And if it's in stock, I'll take it. Price be damned. A 12.5 370 capacitor too, just on GP.

My boy's room doesn't cool well, so we bought a little $99 desktop evap cooler to help out. It definitely helps.

I've got a portable AC unit you can borrow it's on wheels. It works pretty well to cool down a room.

If my A/C ever goes out I’m plugging in the camp trailer and sleeping in there 🤣

If that wasn’t an option I’d be in a hotel. I hate the heat and the wife hates it even more.

Cindy took some extra hours at work this weekend. Huh... I think this might be good for her. But just to be safe, tomorrow I'm taking her to dinner and a movie to get some AC and entertainment.

@nnnnnate , if I can't find a motor Tuesday morning, I'll be in touch!

Steven's Electric motor repair on west temple and about 3100 s in south salt lake. They can even fix your old motor so you have one for a spare.

oh yeah I have a portable swamp cooler you could borrow as well.

Sounds like a low clothing week at your house to me? That suggestion didn't fly? ( we know you suggested it as would any of the rest of us)

 

[DAA]

I didn't need to suggest it. But my expression of appreciation for it was rebuffed.

We've got AC again! Yay!

@gijohn40, Stevens' had one. Turned out to not be exactly what came out, but it worked.

Many thanks @Diesel_Zuk for the legwork!
