Anyone replace their Harman P52i Exhaust Blower? PITA!!

Hello
Getting that 3rd bolt off without removing the distribution blower is the trick!
Replacing that old noisy blower is the treat!
See pic!

 

So did the blower become noisy or are you replacing the blower with an after-market or Harman blower upgrade?

 

Yes, the blower was very, very noisy!
Replaced it with a new Harman Exhaust Blower.
Because the stove is newer stove MFD = 2014 the bad blower was not the 1.35 Amp motor but the upgraded 1.75 Amp motor so I replaced it with the same blower.
Good for another 4 years, but I would recommend adding a cooling fan because of the buildup of heat in the fireplace around this exhaust blower to extend the life.
The orange wires for the fan below connect it the exhaust blower so it goes on and off with the exhaust blower.

 

The add on fan is an excellent idea(imo). Pictures of its install would be nice. I know just leaving the small back panel off an Integra makes the rear of the stove,by the auger and combustion motors, 20 degrees or more,cooler.

 

Wow, 20 degrees cooler makes a huge difference in the bearing life of a blower!
