What you have is called an OEM part number (Original Equipment Manufacturer), made by GE but for some other assembly, like an appliance, etc.

That's why no one can ever recognize the part number, including GE.

All that is missing from the info you gave is the Frame number.

If you can find a frame number, along with the info you have, you should be able to find a replacement from most motor manufacturers, such as Baldor, US Motor, Grainger and several others.

If you have a motor shop near by, bring it in and they will be able to figure out what motor will replace it.

Let us know how you make out.

I usually don't recommend companies but have you called Grainger for this, there computers often can cross reference one companies motors with another.
