Need Replacement YongHeng Compressor Motor

By the way, it is the YongHeng 220V with auto shutoff.

Great idea. I opened the compressor and there is no housing around the motor and no markings at all. Grainger may be able to figure out what will work. I'll look into that.

Thanks!

Actually it has a decent gauge cable that is only 4 ft. long so i'm about as close to the breaker as I can get. I looked at the circuit breaker in the compressor and it is only a 13 amp breaker and it is mounted touching the side of the motor. Since it is a current overload protection device, getting heat from the motor may be causing it to fail prematurely but it worked fine all last year. I will relocate the circuit breaker to gain an inch or so separation from the motor. If that doesn't work, I think I am going to bump it to a 15 amp breaker. I know that is not recommended but if the motor is useless to me now then frying it will only motivate me to quit monkeying around with it and get a new compressor since I can't find a replacement motor. It appears that the motor housing was removed and the stator and rotor were installed without a housing. Odd! Knowing that these current overload breakers work off of heat, I may try to set a couple of large fans blowing at the back of it to see if this helps at all too.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I will let you know how it goes. If you see a small plume of smoke coming from the Upstate of SC, you will know I went with the bigger breaker.

For what it is worth, I found that the breaker was in contact with the side of the motor which gets very hot. Since these breakers are for over current protection, it was tripping prematurely. I relocated the breaker to the left side of the compressor and the problem went away.
