Boy am I confused now !!!
My furnace broke down, actually the blower motor gave up, the shaft is about 10k ground out on the fan end but what the heck, it's a real old 220v coleman, what do you expect right? So I go online and feel real lucky finding a direct replacement for it at this real savy OEM parts seller, with an upgrade and cap for the specific model I have ( says "no returns" in great big letters right out front of the site.. something only a tech with microscope eye could miss) So I dump the dime. The shipping was 50. Anyway, I get th motor, and its wired for a two wire system, not OEM and it is not a 220v, but a 115v. "dang" says I, " I really wanted to get this done before May", but no such luck. So I decide to check this out(roughshawd as I am I never leave a stone unturned) And the thermostats on this 220v heater are 24v, the motor hooks up to the thermostat switches with the high low speed wires and to the fuse block with the orange wire(called the comm wire which I assume means common.) Now I have to ask right.... "how does a 24v thermostat survive in a 220v circuit?" In any case, It seems to me that if a 24v thermostat can survive in there then so should a 115v motor right..( I know better, but there is still that humor and comic relief I knew you guys would love!!!!) I wonder how many people have put it in there and it sstill workds today??? now there is a dilemna.... "no refund-no return" the first successful sign ever hung up in the very first electronics shops!
Oh great one? can I use this fancy in my 220v by using some kind of special voltage reducing circuits?(answer is yes, but I don't know where to start!)
