The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay heater blower

Finally got around to looking at heat for AD
Hooked up charger to leads and it spun really well.
I let it run to make sure it seemed ok,then filled it with water to check for leaks(none,wow)

Afterwards I realized the charger was on 12V ,os I tested again on 6V .
It ran,not as fast
The motor did not get hot or smell when on 12V.

Will this work correctly,or should I use 6V ??

Is it a 6V or a 12V motor?

My recent experience the 6 volt blower motor runs way too fast on 12v.

There are couple of other post with replacement motors suppliers in 6 and 12 volts.

I decided to run my 6 volt on 12 volts using a ballast resistor to reduce the voltage. The resistor sitting in the air stream.

I have the ballast resistor, but I also have a rheostat switch I could use to adjust speed.

Not sure what voltage motor actually is.
