Desperate in Houston! Need 58 Frigidaire Evaporator Motor Replacement or Rebuild

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Thanks John! I used an SM999 Universal mount but it isn't ideal. For one thing, I'm pretty sure it develops some frost behind the aluminum blower wheel. There is a blower heater but i suspect with the mods it isn't effective even though I have it insulated pretty well. I have it running but, of course, keep running into little things. The thermostat wasn't disengaging. And I've gotten it opening and closing but heaven knows it is is anywhere close to spec at this point. Trial and error.

If you do find that motor I would be very happy to have it! I would really like to put this back to "stock". I didn't make any modifications that would make it difficult to re-install the correct one. If you have any information on the best way to set calibration on an F-114 Thermostat (YR?) please let me know. I expected it to have an F-3 but it does not.

Also... when the compressor starts it has a light rattle inside. Like if there were loose washers or something. It seems to stop after it runs for a while. It always returns after it has been off for a bit. Is this a sign of impending doom?

As for your friend, I guess this one has had a following! Several people I have spoken to either knew of it or had wanted to purchase it. Somehow it wound up with me and I'm taking that as a good thing. One step at a time.....

I'll attach some pics of the blower modification using the universal SM999. Unfortunately that rear panel was already split. It is intact other than that. The blower had been serviced before.

jdwilson....I see you're in Houston, there is an electric motor shop locally here in Louisiana that may be able to rewind it. I brought a hot tub circulation motor to them last year, and they were able to rebuild for $150. Not sure if you would be interested in the drive.
 
Well I could mail it to them! Is it a place that I could email or text pictures to to see if they would do it? It isn't that far really and I have not been to NOLA since before Katrina so am way over due! I could just drop it off on the way lol. I have it working on the universal for now so not in a huge rush. But please send me their info! And thank you!!!
