My vanEE 90H HRV motor died after 22 years. I decided to try find a replacement motor and do it myself. After some research on the model and specs, I found this Rotom motor. Thanks to the reviews on it, I felt confident it was the right one. The shaft length was identical to the old one and all mounting screw holes lined up perfectly. As mentioned in other reviews, the wires don’t come with connectors specific to the model of HRV, but that’s understandable, so make sure you have a way of splicing the wires, whether crimp splicers or solder. The wire colouring was identical to my old motor, so that made the job easy. I did a test by hooking up the motor before installing to ensure it worked. I also noticed that some reviewers said they didn’t receive a capacitor with their motor, but that was not the case for me. I did get a capacitor with mine. I didn’t actually use it, but will be keeping it as a back up since the original was still fine. This job, from start to finish, including cleaning of the HRV interior, disassembling the housing and removing the motor, re-installing the new one, is about a 3 hour job.
