Need help with furnace please

If you're handy you could probably order the motor from amrysupply.com and install it yourself. You'll find a lot of techs will give you these outrageous prices to entice you to buy a whole new system. And if you refuse to do it, sometime's they'll even red tag your furnace to further put pressure on you.

How old is your furnace? If it is 15 years +, I would replace. If less, maybe repair. Get another quote. I replaced my 10year main blower fan, a lot $300, But it was a simple AC motor, not a two stage DC motor

My furnace is 11 years old now. That’s why I’m hesitant in just replacing the blower.

I’m just depressed right now. Didn’t expect this sigh

I just went to their site, and it’s hard to find the part. How can I search for it exactly? What do I look for?

There should be a name plate on the motor in your furnace, have you pullled all the information from the motor in your furnace?

I heard DC motors were expensive when I put in a hi-eff furnace in my previous house. Kind of shocked but if it is a proprietary motor, you do get socked for parts - especially if you're paying retail. Get the furnace (and/or motor) model, part and serial numbers and start looking for replacement parts.

Yah these fixing/parts quotes can be ridiculous. Furnace/ac prices for the units themselves are actually pretty reasonable

The labor/tools are usually pretty specialized so that’s where you are paying

Had a guy I know install new furnace 5 years ago. The unit (simple 92% furnace) was under $700 with tax

Last summer my ac compressor went (7 years old amana (Goodman)...)
Part cost to replace was over $600, but got a whole new unit for under $900

Okay, so here is my furnace model And the small sticker is the motor model.

What do I search only. The motor code?

I just want to search this motor price and check if it’s acruslly $1600. The guy said that’s his cost. Didn’t even include labour. Just part.

Where can I call or check online for parts?

Have a look at Mars Azure ECM motor. It's popular here on RFD.

That's an AC motor unfortunately.

Yea, I just found that online too.. holyy man.. $700 USD?? I’m scared if I buy it and turns out motor wasn’t the issue and I jus wasted $700 usd

Also, I’m assuming that’s aftermarket right? Not OEM

Amazon.com price is USD 1,000 so it is not out of line if his supplier has a ridiculous markup.

Any other label on the motor? Such as a hard, shiny manufacturer's label with the specs?

Looks like OEM. Are you sure it's DC? Looks like AC from what I see.

Doesn't say the motor is DC.

The link below says it is a GE motor 5SME39SL(0253?)

If you post the furnace schematics, we might be able to tell you if it is AC or DC, and whether you can use the Mars Azure motor recommended earlier.

Wow crazy. I tried to ship to Canada, couldn’t. I know I can ship somewhere in the states and go pick it up, then it becomes same thing. Gas and stuff will bring it up to $690
