Air exchanger unit was not functioning properly. Upon closer inspection I found the blower motor was energized but not spinning. The motor was extremely hot, to hot to hold even with leather gloves on. A bearing failure in the motor caused it to stop spinning.

The product, in the report: Air exchanger HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator)
Venmar constructo 2.0 motor seized 3 years ago and nearly started a fire it got so hot. (7 years old) Company then said it was my problem and I purchased a new motor from my hvac supplier. Now new motor is again failing. I see that this brand has a very poorly built motor and will not stand behind its products.
