The fan unit froze up the other day, and is working now. Just a short time
before it totally dies.
I looked on the internet for Dou-Therm parts, but only find whole units, or
covers for sale.

Can I get just the motor for it?

Looks just like a window unit motor.

I posted this same problem many months ago. From inside, remove the
cover and get the fan to turn, being careful not to break squirrel
cage. Then once a month turn on the fan only to keep bushings from
freezing up. 2 other friends have had the same problem and Duo-therm
refuses to acknowledge it. Anyway, turn the fan in the winter too. You
probably don't need a new motor like everyone says.

I was able to get the fan working.
This is a full time trailer.
I am looking for some parts info, because, I know within the next few
months, the fan motor will die.
Have it set on 80, and it runs OK for now.
