Duratech DURAPRO Fan Motor

This genuine Duratech fan motor is a replacement component for DURAPRO heat pump units. The fan motor is the heart of the airflow system, driving the fan blade that draws ambient air across the evaporator coil for heat extraction.

What the Fan Motor Does

In an air-source heat pump, the fan motor powers the blade that pulls outside air over the heat exchanger. This airflow is essential for the heat pump to absorb thermal energy from the environment and transfer it to your pool water. Without a properly functioning fan motor, the unit cannot operate efficiently and may fail to heat altogether.

Signs Your Fan Motor Needs Replacing

Several symptoms can indicate a failing fan motor: the fan not spinning despite the unit being powered on; grinding, squealing, or humming noises coming from the motor; the fan starting slowly or struggling to reach full speed; intermittent operation; or the motor overheating and cutting out. If you’ve already ruled out simpler issues like a faulty capacitor or speed controller, the motor itself is the likely cause.

Professional Installation Recommended

Replacing a fan motor involves electrical connections and ensuring correct mounting and alignment with the fan blade. While it’s a manageable task for those with experience, having a qualified engineer carry out the work ensures safe installation and proper operation. Incorrect fitting can lead to vibration, premature wear, or damage to other components.
