Gary Walker Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Hello, I'm looking for advice/help on what the amp draw should be at 115v and how warm/hot the motor should be? I appreciate it, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Adams Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 As a rule, those pull around 60 watts & run quite hot as they are shaded pole motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Walker Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 Okay, thank you for your response! It is pulling about 85 amps and the motor is plenty hot. I have a heat gun and it's showing about 150°?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Adams Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 That is pretty hot. 140 is about as hot as I’ve seen those get. Unfortunately B Juniors & 2250 model Emmys had troublesome stators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Ray Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 (edited) That's pulling more amps than it should. 115V x 0.85A = 97.75 Watts Edited September 5 by Patrick Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Smith Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I have an 10 inch Emerson-B-Jr Non Oscillating with a frozen motor. I am not finding anything that details rebuilding the motor, specifically how the motor housing can be opened, but also any details beyond that as well. Any advice?

I appreciate it, thanks. Actually, to determine amp draw, the formula is watts divided by voltage. So if it is indeed 60 watts as Stan stated, then the amp draw would be .5 amp. 60 watts divided by 120 volts = .5 amp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm MacGregor Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I had the same issue. Every time I ran the fan it got hotter and the current draw went up. It is shorting internally and the fix is a rewind of the stator. Mark Olson rewound my stator and did a fine job. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
