Hello, new member here.
I ran across this forum and hope someone can help me. I have a 32" Emerson whole-house attic fan, its about 25 years old, can't get parts on it no longer.
The problem i have is with the variable speed control switch, the original one went out years ago. The fan motor is a (direct drive 6 amp motor with a starting capacitor). I bought one with Grainger, it was 6 amp variable speed fan control, lasted about 5 months it would get very hot till it finally went out. I have been buying the regular 5 amp ones at any hardware store and they last about 2 years then they to get hot an give out, at least they last longer than the Grainger one for a lot cheaper.
I am trying to find the right controller for this fan, can some one point me in the right direction ? *The fan itself works like a charm, just can't keep controllers to hold up*.
