I have a Samsung SMV-260UA motor-blower that I am using for my
heatolator style fireplace. The original motor-blower died several
years ago, and the manufacturer is out of business as far as I can
tell. Googling on the original motor-blower assembly part number
brought the no-replacement available information. I scrounged the
Samsung blower unit from a floor-standing computer several years ago
and put it into service a couple of years ago. So it was old. The
Samsung unit has a 2-speed motor and two centrifugal blower wheels,
one on each side of the motor. Googling on the SMV-260UA brought
nothing.

Last winter, one of the two blower wheels cracked and then broke up
and I need a replacement. The blower wheel is 3" diameter, could be
replaced with one up to 3 1/4". the blower wheel is 3 1/2 " long, and
has a 5/16" shaft. I have tried every motor-blower company that I can
find and none sell the blower wheels retail. The one place I did find
refused to talk to me unless I order 100 wheels. A complete new motor-
blower assembly is at least $165 from a local fireplace store, if I
can go thru their catalog and find something that will fit the
available space..

So, any suggestions/ideas gratefully accepted from all you good people.

Just re-Googled the Samsung information and got several leads, don't

Sorry for the noise.

If nothing workable shows up, look at old heater blower assemblies
from your local auto wrecking (oops, salvage) yard. Old pickups,
especially had easily accessible units with 3"-4" wheels. Shaft sizes
may be SAE, not metric so choose the make accordingly.

GE above-counter microwaves use a similar tangential fan unit. If you can
scrounge up a broken oven, you will likely find a working fan assembly/parts
that are still functional for free.
