Glacier Chiller Fan Motor

[Ed Blown Vert]

Like you, I seem to recall mine was moving slowly, then stopped completely. No, its simply the top part of the motor that comes out. Three screws I recall. Simply take it off, look inside and you will see the capacitor. Remove, fit similar size 20uf capacitor and your done. See if the fan works.. Do that before even thinking about replacing that $450-$500 motor from Glacier

Thanks, will give that a shot.

Which Cap did you buy? I cant find one that will fit. Too long

Any one here have a model number for the capacitor? I have a Teco 1/6hp motor and capacitor is fried.

This is from my GPC-210. I could never find the exact replacement.

My fan stopped working on my GPC25. To make a long story short, it was indeed the 20uf capacitor that was shot (after only one year of use!). Replaced with similar I bought on Amazon for $12.00 and now working correctly again.

What did you replace with? And it worked ok

I used this one. It was the smallest I could find. Had to bend the terminals to make it fit under the cover.
And its working great.
