AC relay switch bad?

Question

I have an old ArcoAire central ac/heater unit in my attic and the fan(blower)relay is bad. The outside unit was replaced a couple of years ago. I cannot find another relay for it. It is 5 prong(3 on one side and 2 on the other)24V 50/60HZ Essex # 91 102006 31831. I have jumped it to get the blower going and tested the capacitor. The capacitor is good. It is blowing now but won't shut off when the ac reaches the temp on the thermostat or when I turn the ac off. HELP!!!

Answer 1

Did you check the contacts to make sure that they are stuck?That relay can be purchased at Johnstone Supply,Insco,United Refrigeration,Barsco,Johnson Supply,Comfort Supply,or Pameco.

Any other similar supply house will also carry it.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Any spst or dpst normally open relay will work just make sure it has a 24v coil and contact rating of 250v 30a  then just wire back in
