Emerson-Pryne Exhaust Fan Motor
I've a vintage Emerson-Pryne exhaust fan in my mid 60's tract home
bath. The bearings are shot on the motor, and it looks like Emerson sold off Pryne. No model number. It is an early 60's vintage. Induction motor above cross brace and below a 3 bladed aluminium fan around 6.6" in diameter. Fits right into the duct. Can't replace with conventional unit without ripping up upstairs floor! Suggestion for parts supplier? tx pc |

Measure diameter of shaft, shop around for a current unit that you can pull the motor out of which has the same diameter shaft and that you can rig the motor mounts to work. You may be able to pull the motor mount brackets out of the new one and fit them into the old one.

If so, type them into google and see what comes up. I have an air purifier where the motor wore out, and I found one on-line this way for a resonable price. -john- -- ================================================== ================== John A.

Pull the motor out and bring it to a Appliance Parts place and have them match it up with other motor that they have in stock. All these motor are 1/8 th Horse to 1/340 th horse power motors. With a 6.5" blade on it can't be much more than a 1/10 horse power motor. The 1/10 H.P. motor , you can find a universial type to replace it. TURTLE |
