Replacement motor for Ecofan

[Clive A]

First off, I can't return my Ecofan to Canada for repair as I have taken my motor apart about 5 times, losing the tiny back bearing during my last self repair(I'm sure this invalidates any guarantee).

This leaves me with trying to locate a replacement motor.

They look very similar to the type used in powered model making. Is it possible to use one of these? will the power output be sufficient to run? will the internals eventually melt?

Does anyone know how to get the correct motor?

 

Your help in this will be greatly appreciated

The uk agent is in Wrexham - you should be able to find them on the ecofan (Caraframo) website.

 

A new motor will cost you about £12 and they turn them round almost by return. Excellent service. A new fan can be added at the same time for a few quid more if, like mine, it is showing the effects of many leaps off the top of the stove.

Well, isn't that odd. Caframo's website (linked above in Post #3) shows the info I cut 'n pasted. THEY state that the official UK distributor is Curtis Marine/ Meridian Zero. I guess their website must be out of date.

The Ecofan motor is (1) extremely quiet and (2) very low power consumption. I've often wondered if theree's an equivalent 12v motor with the same characteristics
