Flair Venmar ventilation unit. Model 3055.
Hi,
Looking for a little guidance here. Replacing a motor in Venmar unit because of a bad bearing. Got a replacement Venmar motor (Rotom) which included a capacitor. I understand that the two brown wires hook up to the new capacitor.....but where!!! i don't wanna fry the thing!!!
Thanks for any help!
The capacitor in the picture has 2 terminals. It doesn't matter which brown wire you use. Install the first brown wire to one terminal and the second brown wire to the other terminal. Each terminal has 4 stake on connectors and it doesn't matter which one is used.
There were a couple recalls issued for the Flair 3055 model.
Units manufactured between 1991 and 2001 - Recall (http://www.hvactechgroup.com/article.php/20070610193714726)
Units manufactured between 2002 and 2009 - Recall (http://www.hvactechgroup.com/article.php/20141125161949746)
I believe Venmar will mail you an adapter to plug into the HRV and outlet to prevent the motor from overheating and catching fire.
