This guide shows you how to replace a damaged Governor on a typical A.O. Smith Motor. This Governor is only used with motors that have a start circuitry to boost starting torque. See our overview guide on "How To Replace AO Smith Motor Parts - Overview" to see how the Governor operates with the other electrical components.

governor screw - Unfortunately, we don't have information on governor parts. I'd suggest taking the screw into a hardware store and try matching it to their screw sizing display.Reply

Looks like I may have damaged the threads on the governor screw and or shaft of motor when removing the back bearing with my puller. Do you know what size the screw is? I tried a new 10-32 but doesn't seem to fit.Reply
