    Default whirlpool dehumidifier ad0302xm 30 pt

    Even though its aged, this dehumidifier does not have much run time. When I cleaned and lubed the fan motor, and restarted, the fan does not kick in. When I try to spin it by hand, it gives slight resistance. Does this mean the bearing is bad? Also, I see the fan motor is $100. Is this more then the unit is worth to fix?
    thanks

    Hi,

    ad0302xm
    Missing a digit.

    When I cleaned and lubed the fan motor, and restarted, the fan does not kick in. When I try to spin it by hand, it gives slight resistance. Does this mean the bearing is bad?
    If stiff to turn, yes.

    Also, I see the fan motor is $100. Is this more then the unit is worth to fix?
    Fan motor comes up as NLA for me.

    I see the manufacturers part number is 1162508, based on schematic, but the unit is not available. However, on another website, I see they have several different aftermarket motors.

    After market is likely the only style you can get.....duoble check the shaft size, mounting, direction the motor runs, amp draw and speeds.

    I use a lot of these for one speed motors, they are a replacement...
