Venmar Make Up Air Motor 02101, 1/17 hp, 1650 RPM, 115 volts Rotom # R2-R462 by Rotom

Perfect fit, works great!

Direct replacement for the OEM motor 5KCP84DFK143P. Capacitor not included but my old one was fine. If the vanes of your unit do not spin easily, it’s probably time to replace the motor. Don’t be fooled by a contractor telling you the Venmar needs to be replaced.

This worked perfectly in my Venmar AVS Solo 2.0 and it even includes the capacitor! THIS IS THE NEW VERSION 02101 so if you have the 02100 it's the updated version. The swap took about an hour using allen wrench, screw driver, and some wd-40 for rusty shaft to remove the fan. You'll need to cut the plug connectors off of the old motor and butt connect them to the new one for easy installation. Then make sure to align the fans once you're done so they're straight and there is no rubbing.

During work on the higher speed it is quite hot. The attached capacitor is quite big. Apart from that everything is ok :)

Good replacement motor for my Vemar air exchanger.

It worked in my system, no adjustments. I did have to supply a capacitor. It would have been nice if the rotation direction was marked better. I had to remove the original wire connector and connect each wire individually.

PERFECT FIT

Shipping was fast. I ordered it on a Saturday afternoon and it was delivered by Monday at 4 p.m.. Had it installed by about 8 p.m. Monday night. Here's my public service announcement: A local company had a $60 special for a furnace tune up/inspection. The technician noticed my air exchanger wasn't working. He told me Venmar was purchased by Broan and that there were no longer parts available to fix my Venmar air exchanger. He quoted $1600 to replace the existing unit. I decided to fact check that. The truth is Venmar was purchased by Broan-NuTone in 1995 and through at least the time when my home was built in late 2006, Broan-NuTone continued several air-exchange brands including Broan, NuTone, Best, vanEE, and Venmar. This replacement motor fits many brands and models! This Rotom R2-R462 and included capacitor nearly directly replace the GE motor: 5KCP84DFK143BP and capacitor found in my Venmar HRV Constructo 1.5 air exchanger. The capacitor is a larger oval shape than the old capacitor and wouldn't fit in the existing space utilizing the OEM capacitor bracket. I just used some zip ties and mounted it flat onto the motor. -see the picture The Rotom motor is quite and does it's job, time will tell how long it will last. It took me about five minutes to wrangle tools and then about five additional minutes to remove the black plastic box/blower motor assembly out of the air exchanger body. After the unit was out on the ground it took another 20 minutes to disassemble. Once the new motor came it took about 15 minutes to remove the wiring harness and capacitor mount from the old motor then splice the old wiring harness onto the new motor. From there it took about 45 minutes to reassemble the blower box assembly and figure out how the capacitor could be mounted. Part of that 45 minutes (maybe 10 minutes) was spent cleaning the crud/dust/dirt off the old blower cages, black box parts, and inside the air exchanger body. Lastly, it took maybe 10 minutes to put the black plastic box/blower motor assembly back into the air exchanger body. It's not "easy" but it can be done by one that is in possession of tools and some electrical and mechanical knowledge, skills, and ability. My advice would be to take a picture or two or maybe a video of each step when disassembling the unit. You might need a total of two hours to complete this project. I could tell the bearings in the old motor were shot when the shaft would slide back and forth about 3/8" of an inch. I also bought some new filters SV02300 for the unit. -see picture Good luck with your repair! You can do it!!

Works great. It's a perfect fit replacement for the Venmar Constructo 1.5 unit.

I was a bit skeptical at first due to the part codes are all different, but previous reviews reassured me to make the purchase, thx guys. Having to splice the old connector to the new motor is a little inconvenience, but it was straightforward as the wire color scheme matched the stock one. It seems expensive for a small motor of this size but it's the only available in amazon site. The inconvenience of splicing the connector and the expensive price are the reason for the 4 stars rating. The new motor runs quietly and powerfully moves the air with little vibration. Time will tell how long it will last. Another 20 years ? :) Unfortunately I didn't record the video but the process of replacement is quite straightforward. You first need to disconnect the 2 connectors, remove the whole blower assembly off the housing, then proceed next to remove the lower side cap before removing the 2 propellers as this is the hardest part of the process. Apply some WD40 or rust penetrant on both ends of the motor shaft to help free up the propellers. Make sure you properly support the motor before attempting to remove the stucked propellers to avoid deforming their shapes. I used the 10 -12mm sockets to support on one end while tap it on the opposite end. Also make sure to match the wire color code as not doing so could fry the motor or motor could run slower than it should. The new motor comes with a bigger start capacitor, which you may need to mount it 90 degree wrt the original position. Good luck to all.

Works perfectly with Venmar HRV. I have the older 2.0 model. Fairly simple procedure. Just take lots of pics and keep the electrical connector from your old fan. While you are at it, perfect time to give your HRV a good cleaning. Would recommend.

Requested return, as I no longer required the unit. The capacitor doesnt work. I figured it's better to replace the whole HRV unit at this point, so have an HRV scheduled for install next week. No response back from the seller.

Fit perfect in my 27 year old Venmar Constructo 1.5. it cost $400 for the motor but it saved me about $2700 for a new HRV unit installed. The capacitor Did come with the motor but it is bigger than the old capacitor, it would not fit back into the fan housing using the original capacitor bracket so I double-sided gorilla taped it to the side of the motor and used a long hose clamps for extra security. installation was not difficult if you are handy, (Take lots of pictures during disassembly and mark the measurements of where the fan-fins attracted to the motor shafts) , you will have to cut the connectors off the old motor and soldier them on to the new motor wires, cover the joints with heat-shrink or electrical tape. Shipping was surprising quick.
