Can advise me if I should replace a working evaporator fan motor at this time. Will the board again blow if this motor fails? Is there a high enough fail rate to warrant replacement now...or should I just let things be? Thanks, Ken

Under the fan blade, I would add a slinger, a round, plastic device with a small hole in it, will sling water away from the motor. I checked this motor's price and for some reason, the price has gone up a lot!

If the motor has a part # stamped on it, you could buy that separately much cheaper. I burned one of these apart and found it is a simple 6 pole motor.They use dc voltage for a bias voltage and a square wave to drive the motor windings, basically a induction motor, running rpm a function of the frequency.
