    Motor for fireplace blower
    I have an old (~15 yrs I guess) fireplace blower system made by Diamond W Products. The blower motor burned out and I'm trying to find an equivalent replacement.
    Talked to Diamond W and they discontinued this product line 6 yrs ago (yes, due to problems with the motor).
    The motor is rated as: 1/60 hp, 115V, 60 Hz, 6 Amps, 3000 rpm.
    Its going to be inside the firplace, so it needs to be thermally protected.
    Thanks for any thoughts or advise !:)

    Look in a Grainger catalogue. If they do not have some kind of a replacement I do not thing you will find one.
