    Default Looking for a High Performance upgrade for burnt motor, Pictures attached

    Model Number: S37NMHDF-1484

    Age: 6-10 years

    I was lucky to catch this problem before my house caught on fire. Since I have to replace this motor I would like to make a upgrade. My question is can i increase the rpm with out causing electrical issues if I keep the same volts and amps? Can any one suggest any alternatives?

    My old motor spec's
    Part number 8283457
    Model S37NMHDF-1484
    Amps 3.6
    HP 1/6
    Volts 120
    HZ 60
    RPM 3450
    C rev

    Thanks. I think my plan at this point is to just replace the entire unit.

    After seeing what happened to that one...maybe not a Whirlpool
