About 25 years ago I installed a little t-stat controlled gable fan
in my little MO bungalow attic. Maybe 12 years later, it was causing
bad static on tv, radio in the room under the gable.

So I installed it in the detached garage in back (for same purpose,
cooling in extreme July, Aug. heat). It's still running.

Now the gable fan I replaced it with (Cool Attic 1500, in service
since '96) ceases to work. I lubed it as best I could. It's getting
elec. power from the tstat. Motor just refuses to turn over. Fan
blades are not locked, turn by hand, a bit tight, 'tho.

I figured it just burnt up 'till I remembered the older one still runs
after 25 years. Why should the newer one go south?

Any ideas? Should I just pull the Cool Attic, take it apart to confirm
motor is burnt up (or whatever)? Or just order a replacement?

Thx,
P
