Description
The Aprilaire 5886 is a factory-replacement blower fan motor designed to restore your Aprilaire dehumidifier to full operating performance. Bundled with a matched 12 MFD run capacitor, this kit delivers everything needed for a complete motor replacement in a single part number — eliminating guesswork and reducing truck-stock requirements.
