I now am in possession of a recalled motor (as you probably know from watching my video of it). On my recalled motor (it is an **actual** recalled motor from 2000-01 and also not saying yours isn't recalled but mine is just older and "better") the iron core is as thick as modern WeatherShield motors IIRC. I don't know if that's true though. Mine has a 4uF capacitor. Mine has the same amount of copper visually compared to yours. The Hungder motor is quite inferior. A motor from a 3733 from 2005-06 is not as powerful as a recalled motor. I know this because I had bought a 2005-06 3733 and it had thinner blades. If I put a recalled blade on it, the motor would perform slower. No, the 2005-06 motor was not involved in the recall because it was paired with a Blue Plug. On my recalled motor the wire comes out the back of the motor as opposed to the side, and the recalled motor is mounted in the back as opposed to mounting on the front of the "insulation ring".
I never said the 3733 motor is as powerful as the recalled motor, all i said was it’s probably the same motor but evolved to be less powerful. The very first recalled motors did appear to have a much bigger stator tho so you’re probably right. I’m very curious to why mine uses a 5uf as opposed to the typical 4uf capacitors. I have noticed mine runs unusually fast on low speed for a weather shield fan and idk if it’s due to the larger capacitor or if the blade is flimsier. My weather shield motor is probably recalled the winding look the same as the other recalled motors but it used the modern motor housing.
There are several possibilities: A) because it has no fused plug and that B) the motor has rubout points - in my recalled motor, I saw a few points of the insulation inside of the motor were flattened and close to wearing through, and C) dust buildup = overheating.

Why were they recalled
There are several possibilities: A) because it has no fused plug and that B) the motor has rubout points - in my recalled motor, I saw a few points of the insulation inside of the motor were flattened and close to wearing through, and C) dust buildup = overheating.
