Portage and Maine 250 Blower

[Ludo]

Hello All-

Just went outside to feed my P&M 250 only to discover the blower burned up.  I cant find my manual and the website does not offer a PDF download manual.  Does anyone out there know what make and model blower they used, mine was manufactured in summer of 2010?  If no one has it handy I'll wait until they open and give them a call.  :P

I didn't see your post last night or I'd have given you what little information I have then. I keep a spare for mine on hand(motor,squirrel cage, housing as one unit), as well as an actuator, aquastat, thermocouple, and nozzle.
   The motor is made in China. the company is Changzhou Regal-Beliot Sinya Motor Co. LTD. It is 1/7 hp 115 VAC 1.7 AMP  60 HZ 3450 RPM Thermally protected.
   The number on the motor is: 09QG48A34SU1001B(5KCP090EXP0007X) CAT. NO. 0701
   It appears to be a capacitor start.
   I'd bet you'll be able to take the motor to Graingers and they could match you up with one.
   I believe there is a dealer in Wisconsin who warehouses any part you might need. I don't have his number, but I'm sure Brian or Rory at P&M would happily give it to you.

Good Luck

Thank you Marty. I called P&M and they could not even tell me that!  Turns out that this Chinese company makes motors for several (once American) companies.  I bought a Dayton that seems like a direct replacement for $100 from Granger.  Thanks for your help, I think I will also follow your lead and get one spare part of everything too as there does not seem to be any reliable dealers around NY.

If that blower from grainger fits can you post the part no. mine is a 2010 so I might as well get one.
