Is it normal for a small motor like is on the fan to run hot? This one
is running about 200F. (taken with thermoprobe on a volt/ohm meeter
with the probe on the out side of bearing housing over the bearing.)

Thanks


Sounds hotter than usual. I'd be looking at the McMaster or Grainger
web site for a new one. Small motors are not worth rebuilding.
