Heater Blower and Evaporator
Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:03 pm
So it all started when I needed to replace the passenger side wiper wheel box assembly...which turned into replacing both (dash was down anyways) and the gear inside the wiper motor....so then I got brave.
For the last couple/three years...every time I turned on the heater control, there would be an awful squeal. I figured, it was time to remove the heater box/evaporator ( I have a Defender with factory AC)....and inspect the blower/motor.... well...
What I wasn't expecting was to find the actual casing cracked around the top bracket. With lots of patience and being careful, I was able to remove the whole assembly and actually removed the top from the bottom and removed the motor. Again, what I wasn't expecting was the previous owner had work done on it and there was more broken plastic (which had been glued but is now broken)
Any suggestions?
Does anyone have a whole evaporated kicking around for sale? or perhaps the top cover?
My initial inquires into pricing for the whole unit ....was....very discouraging. Should have just put up with the squealing...and luke warm heat in the cabin :)
