Motor and Blower Wheel

The drive-motor is a single-speed, dual-shaft,
¼-hp, 1725-rpm motor with an automatic reset
overload protector. The overload protector is an
internal component of the motor and cannot be
replaced separately. The motor contains a
centrifugal switch that serves three purposes: It
disengages the motor start winding (M6), engages
the motor run winding (M5), and closes the circuit
contacts (M1 to M2) for the heat source.
Motor resistance values:
Start winding = 5 ohms
Run winding = 4 ohms
To remove the motor:
