Breckwell Pellet Stove Convection Motor Blower A-E-033A

Bought this to replace the 19 year old fan in my Breckwell P2700. Install was easy but the fan was slightly bent which caused some noise. After straightening it the noise went away. The original fan had 5 different speeds that were noticeable. This one really only has 2.

The convection (room) fan in my Breckwell Big E failed. I took the original fan apart and the bearings were seized. Rather than replacing the bearings on an old fan, I opted to by a new fan with what is supposed to an improved design. What I received was just like in the pictures so clearly it’s different than the original which is a good thing as this feels like a much better motor.Installation was a breeze but having read the reviews, I had noted some of the things that others ran into when doing the fan swap and was well prepared. It took me less than 5 minutes to remove the old one and install the new one. Since these fans are used in various stove models, I did have to rotate the motor base on the fan shroud to clear pellet hopper motor since the motor is offset. This is no big deal and a very simple process. Just remove the 3 phillips head screws where the motor attaches to the blower shroud (see attached photo showing 2 of the 3 screws) and rotate the motor case to a different position and put the screws back in. It’s a 60 second process. One other thing I had to address was the plastic cover on one of the 2 wire connections (see picture). It was a bit too small to allow the wire terminals for one set of wires to plug together so I took a set of wire cutters and made a slit in the protective plastic covering on one of the wires to allow the cover to slip over the one on the stove. You could use a razor blade to do this or even a scissors. No big deal and not surprising since Breckwell likely used a number of suppliers for the male to female plug connectors over the years.So I will give this 5 stars. I can’t blame the vendor or manufacturer for anything I had to do to make this fit my particular model stove and the two things I had to do to prep this motor were brainless. In the end, I am pleased that the vendor shipped it quickly, it took me just a few minutes to install and it solved my problem!

prompt delivery, half the price of OEM. simple to install, it's working just as it should.

Easy to install. Good value. Worked perfect. Shipping time was good.

This is the third convection blower I've had on this stove (counting the original). This one is easily the loudest. It seems balanced and works. It is just really loud compared to the other two. Not happy about that. The reason I replaced the previous blower was because I thought the bearing was starting to die due to how loud it was getting. This one is just as loud to start with, just a different sound.

This is for Breckwell Pellet Stove Convection Motor Blower A-E-033A.This blower is made by NBK. The description says “Ultra Quiet motor designed by Fasco”. Perhaps that is true. Somehow I read made by Fasco, DUH. I have not installed this motor yet. I always keep one on hand so when the installed one goes out on the coldest day of the year I won’t have to wait 2-3+ days for a replacement. I did wire it to an outlet and it is quiet and seems to put out a lot of are, although I do not know what the CFM is. I was going to return it when I found out it wasn’t made by Fasco, but after turning it on I decided to keep it. I only paid $115.40 which is a steal. Years ago I installed a similar open motor unit and I wasn’t pleased. Lasted only about three years. I guess they don’t make the enclosed motor units anymore but at this price I suppose I can replace it every three years or so. My stove is a 1994 Breckwell P24i.4/29/2020Forget what I said. I ended up returning the unit. I later noticed that the little wheel at the end of the shaft was wobbly and came close to the housing. Too close for my comfort. I'm going to look elsewhere for a genuine Fasco blower.

Bearings going out after one year (to the day!). Unit runs 24/7 during winter season, so I'll probably order another. Construction seems better than the original motor but that one lasted ten years, go figure.

Good price, easy install
