LOST HEAT AND AIR IN FRONT BLOWER 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY = the fan fakes about 4 short starts before it runs up yo full speed. How long before it quits ?? ---

> [@Mustangman](#): > > It will run until the exact time you need it the most… The hottest day on record or the coldest. Can confirm. I am a professional HVAC technician, and this is usually when an old, tired air conditioner quits. They seldom seem to break when it’s relatively mild outside. ---

Have you ever changed the cabin filter in the van ? If not it is probably thoroughly clogged and you burned out the motor . ---

> [@vipergg](#): > > If not it is probably thoroughly clogged and you burned out the motor . That’s bass ackwards. The less air a fan draws, the lower the amp draw on the motor. That’s because if the fan is drawing less air, the less work the motor has to do. This can be demonstrated by blocking the inlet hose of a vacuum cleaner. The fan motor speeds up because the fan isn’t pumping any air. Tester ---

Doesn’t air rushing past the motor help cool it though? Or is it cooled another way? ---

No air, the fan pumps nothing, the motor isn’t doing any work, motor draws very little current, no heat, nothing to cool. > **[Fan Airflow vs Power Consuption](https://forums.mikeholt.com/threads/fan-airflow-vs-power-consuption.95839/)** > > This maybe more of an engineering / physics question but when a fan such as ID fan or squirrell cage is restricted on the airflow inlet side, such as louvers or dirty filters, does the fan draw less power. If so what about being restricted on the... Tester ---

> [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > Doesn’t air rushing past the motor help cool it though? Old cars have a hose from the HVAC housing to the motor housing for ventilation, air pressure from the HVAC housing cools the motor. Newer vehicles have a built-in cooling duct. ![blower motor](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/9/2/924862f5b491ef5b147d724194031f37f9f13d87.jpeg) ![blower motor 2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/7/c/7ceed11494615f778486c5daa997bd2511367901.png)
