Furnace Fan Motor...Repair or Replace?

It is a temporary fix and I think you should check your furnace fan motor from the HVAC service tech . As, maintenance or repairing of furnace can also solve the problem , so may be you don’t need replacement of it.Check it once.

The squirrel cage (fan) should be cleaned as well, these fans have cupped blades that fill with dirt and reduce the air flow a lot. Once cleaned, this will tell you in a hurry if you need a new motor. Always good to have a spare.

It is a two fold thing, reduced air flow causes the motor to overheat, increasing the air flow creates more of a load. Moving the correct air flow makes the system run smoother and more efficiently.

i am totally with rubytorres that it would be wise to contact your local aircon servicing company to have a look at the fan and motor.

This could be a temporary solution for the fan motor, the same issue may appear again after some time. I feel that you should get your motor checked from your local aircon company. Recently I also have the same issue as you and i get my local aircon servicing company, ALV Aircon to check my air-conditioners for me. They advised me to replace a new fan motor as my motor have already worn out due to wear and tear.. My aircon have already been operating for 10 years… Hence i am not surprised as i am already mentally prepared to change my air-conditioners.
