Hello Helpers,
I think my 20-years furnace blower is going out. The model is GE 5KCP39LG V569BS, which is a 0.5 HP 1075 rpm with capacitor starter. Since this is no longer on market, I wonder if there is any suggestion as to which made and model is a direct replacement? And where to get it? I live in Central Ohio. Thanks for your suggestions.
In the last 5 years, when the blower is on during Winter, the thermostat would intermittently shut off for 1 minute, then come back on. During thermostat shut off and before back to operation, the blower and furnace would continue to run blowing out hot air. After thermostat turns back on and complete initialization, the furnace and blower would stop, wait for couple minutes, and start blowing hot air again, until temperature reaches ideal target.
I found that putting in new air-filter would help reducing the frequency of this shut-off. However, starting this year, it does not help much. I don't observe this issue during summer air-conditioning time. I read somewhere that this is considered as "overloading" which means somewhere in the motor is over consuming the electricity.
Thanks
