Need speed control for whole-house fan

There is a whole-house fan (Emerson model WH30FM0) installed in the 2nd floor ceiling (into the attic) - when we bought the house, the speed control was shot, and the previous owner "repaired" it by replaced it with a simple on-off switch.
It works fine, but I would like to be able to control the speed.
I have tried to find a replacement control from Emerson, but they seem to be out of the whole-house fan business. I assume I could buy a generic control from another manufacturer. It is 120V, 60 cycle AC, 5.9 amp.
I can't seem to find any vendor that sells this sort of control.
Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Doug

3 amp fuse keeps blowing

A 3 amp fuse keeps blowing when I turn on the air conditioner. It works fine when I heat the house. The fuse is located right below a circuit board viewable when you open the lower panel on an Amana unit model guca070ax30. Serial number 0011214882.

Recharging my home A/C,is it a DIY job?

hotnhere2 on Jul 05, 2002

Hello! My question is,is it a DIY job replacing the Refrigerant in my Home Air Conditioner? If Yes,what tools would I need? What precautions should I take before attempting this? If No, Could I buy the R-22 refrigerant and have someone else install it? What would this cost? Our A/C is turned up as high as it goes and no cool air is coming out. I don't know anything about these things. That is why I came here,to learn and find out all of the ins & outs of working on these things. Funds are low,would'nt you know it? At least,we don't live on the East Coast. We both have Medical conditions and must be careful of the heat. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!!:confused:
