Customer Reviews for DIAL 2-Speed 1/2 HP Evaporative Cooler Motor Kit

This motor was a perfect fit for my cooler and works like a dream! I did not use the adjustable pulley that came with the kit, but instead used the original one I had. The clamps worked fine and were exactly like the original ones. Very pleased.

Over all a very good choice. My plumbing and heating suppliers could not beat the Home Depot price. At times it pays to shop Home Depot. I'm a plumbing and heating service contractor.

Motor works fine but the pulley was warped and caused belt to vibrate bad I had to remove stuck on pulley from old motor and install on new motor

The pulley had a chick knocked out of the side and was "Unusable". Called Customer Service and they were great.

Have to replace every year. Cheaply made, burn up quickly even with the pulley in the most open position. Total junk

Was a great thing ehen it was $350.00. But it costing $1,000.00 just for Parts is Insane.... Just Highway Robbery by our Lawmakers allowing this Corruption on our Economy/ Country.

As soon as we plugged into the swamp cooler it started smoking and burnt out

The description fails to mention that the plug is a strange four-pronged deal that I have never seen before. It IS in the photo but I wasn’t alerted to look there closely.

Changed our last motor out back in June with this one. Now the bearings are already getting rough, evidently poor quality bearings or insufficient lubrication, just low quality Asian junk. Try to find a USA replacement.

The motor itself is great along with the clamps. The pulley it came with is crap went out in less than two days (noisy), I put on my old pulley on, and it runs and sound great (hold onto your old pulley). Also, a SHOUT OUT to Home Depot with very fast shipping We live in the Northern Nevada desert, and it gets hot and dry, and I am sure all of our inside pets giving you a wagging tail salute

i haven't used the motor yet. I bought it for future use.

I didn't realize how delicate this item was ! I installed and apparently I had the belt too tight! It froze the motor immediately ! I was told " no returns " due to my blunder ! I do understand ! After spending right at $170 on this it would be nice to find out if it could be repaired at a reasonable cost ! I hate the thought of just throwing it away ! Any suggestions? Thanks, Chip

Only ran it for a month because cool weather came early. This has thermal overload protection and easy to install.

easy install with all the necessary equipment in a package. My only issue was the adjustable pulley and getting it set right so that the belt does not make noise and/or burn the belt up. I have been running it nonstop since I purchased it with no issues.

Easy to install and replace existing motor. Seems more durable and better built than the original motor my cooler came with. All and all it works (actually better) than the original and I’m VERY happy with it

Functional utility. Being prewired made installation a snap. Wish it had better instructions for pulley adjustment.

Everything fit, no problems

easy to install and worked perfectly. Had some problems with the pulley wheel that came with the kit. Fortunately was able to find a better one at the store. Other than that everything is fine.

Works great easy to install .

The instal was very easy and all parts fit great.

The kit was complete and easy to install. It dropped right into place; my evaporative cooler was up and running again in minutes.
