Motor replacement
Hello,
We have a Blodgett zephaire-GL at our church and the motor burnt out. We had a lot of trouble locating a replacement motor and after a while were told this was it and sent one. The wiring is similar but not the same. We are having trouble trying to wire the system.Old motor AO Smith P# 2-173937-02
new motor (from parts town) Blodgett 32291I am starting to think this isn’t the correct motor. The new one doesn’t have a blue or yellow wire like the old one did. Any help would be appreciated, trying to get this thing going for mothers day weekend! Thank you

I know Blodgett made some changes to the unit through out the years and have changed motors. I believe they use an FIR motor currently. I will look further into this and confirm. In most cases they usually have an instruction sheet in their retro Kits. did you happen to see any instructions? Do you have a serial number?

the new one did not come with any paperwork. I wish it had. Did you want serial number of the motor or oven?

I don’t have the new motor serial number at the moment, but the part number from the website is above

What is the oven model number and date of manufacture.

The older versions had a single speed motor. The replacement is a two speed.
Somewhere on or in the machine will be a wiring diagram. I don’t know if your machine has a interlock for fan, but that is normally a wiring harness coming out of the motor with 2 browns for the safety. White will be the neutral and the blue and yellow will be high and low. Providing the motor is not multi voltage.
A picture of the wiring schematic, the old motor terminals or wires, and the new motor would give me a better idea of what you have to be able to assist you.
