Superior Air "borrowed" the motor from another unit it had in stock and installed it as a temporary fix until the new motor from the factory arrived.

The "borrowed" motor could not be the permanent fix as the manufacturer insists that the replacement motor come directly from the factory as it records the serial number for warranty purposes.
Not in our case with the special part. Manufacturer dealers nationwide do not have it. Have to wait, but there is an end date.
