The tag on the motor says max temperature 40C amb. It's much hotter attached to my furnace than that, problem?

The Ambient temperature is the NEMA insulation rating. (40 deg c) also added is the insulation Class. Class B is typical in small motors. With a class B rating the maximum operation temp would be 130 deg C or 266deg F. Also, the motor has a fan on the back of it to cool it. Lastly, the motor in not mounted inside the heating chamber.You will have no problems with this replacement. It worked great for me. See the link for more info on the NEMA ratings: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/nema-insulation-classes-d_734.html?v=155&units;=degC

I interpret "ambient" to mean the room air temperature, not the operating temperature of the motor on the furnace. Room air cools the motor as it is drawn in. If that air is 40 degrees Celsius already, it might not do the job.

Your gear ratio will depend on how hot it will get.Normal operating temp for that device is 140 to 160 anything above that your going to start asking for problems

I don't think it's normal. That is why I returned mine. Would not run for more than a few minuets before overheating and the safety would shut it off. I know of people who have had success with it but not me and looks like not you either. I'd return it because overheating that quickly could lead to blown fuses or fire.

I have had the temp on max while using the disk& had no problems. Either you got a bad disk or your burner is going higher than it is set for.

Make sure you have adequate clearance for air intake, the motor gets hot. Also, very loud, even at low speed - but it does move a lot of air.

I have the model with the additional display module. I does get a bit warm. I called PI and discussed this with a tech. He had me measure the OHM rating of the actuator which employs a copper coil and is basically an electromagnet that is in the solenoid the allows power to pass thru the unit. He indicated the some heat is OK.

I have the variable speed model and i have never seen the motor get hot or even warm why do you ask ?

Yea happened to me too. I emailed them and they sent me a replacement part. I was told not to max out the heat temp. So I kept it less then a 100 deg. C from the max temp after I replaced the thermol . They did not charge me for the part either. So basically if I were you and if you have time to return it for a full refund and buy another one and keep it 100 c under the max temp you should be fine. You could email them and see if they will give you the replacement part but it was a little hard changing the part. But it can be done. It's been working fine ever since.

I don't know? I bought the one I have because of the representation that it was a heavy duty model. We have brutal summers here and the attic temp's get well above 100 degrees F. so I got something that was represented as being just a bit stronger. The motor has been working without fail since purchased.

I am not sure. On low we're supposed register it at 100, but I find it is not a true reading. It seems to run hotter on all settings. The more I use mine, the less satisfied I am with this product.

How can there be 104 degrees? In the wild?temperature is so high, the panel is burntI had asked for technician,when I get information,I will tell youthanks

Should not be a problem as it is a heating element, not a motor where AC frequency is important. I have used mine a few times without issue since it came last week.

I run mine at 64°. Never tried going below that. What do the manufacturer's specs say?

Mine is only about 6 months old, but I run mine at 91° and it has worked great so far. Maybe check that it is installed according to specifications? Or you may have a defective unit.

mine is set on C and I keep meaning to contact the company to find out. It is warm on 37-38 over that it gets hot. If you get the answer before I do please let me know. No it is batteries

There is a knob for setting the temperature it is not graduated by degrees but low to hot. Also a low to high fan speed I hope this is helpful mm

If you feel uncomfortable with the units power transformer, then you should return it or just get a new one. I have measured my transformer heat output and at in house temptress of 75°F, it is around 95°F They are designed to get hot and have vent slots to allow cooling, unit is reducing your household current from 120VAC/60Hz/10VA down to 12VAC/6VA. That in itself causes the unit to get hot. A bad pump will also cause unit to over heat. My unit has worked fine for over a year, but I clean it monthly including build up that tends to clog pump.
