    Blower motor
    My blower motor for my furnace is not spinning. I opened up the cover and asked my wife to turn on the AC. When she turned it on,the motor just made a humming sound, but the cage did not spin.When I touched the motor it was pretty hot and there was a faint burning smell. Do I need to buy a new motor or is there a way to fix this problem? Thanks to every one in advance for your help.

    It sure sounds like you're in for a new motor , be sure to replace the capacitor when replacing the motor, Good luck. Mike

    Yes it sounds like it is motor time since you are smelling the burning smell already.
