Review on πŸ”₯ 15-80879 GM Genuine Parts Blower Motor Resistor for Heating and Air Conditioning by Matthew Perez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Failed within 2 months - replacement also failed

Update: Replacement failed again within 3 months on a 2007 Chevy HHR. The fan motor is fine, but it can draw a little more current than when it was new - and this resistor can't handle it. This is a thin film design, not a wire wound resistor. Bad design. How to activate the warranty (15-80879 out of service for 2 months in Chevy HHR)1. Call AK DELCO. You will be given a reference number and a phone number to call Revain2. Called Revain Revain agreed to send a replacement but of course I have to put the part back which is a nuisance on the Chevy HHR compared to the GM Prizm where the part also failed but less often than the Chevy HHR. The HHR forum is full of complaints) It's just bad design by GM. The resistor heats up too much due to insufficient air flow and insufficient surface area. Very ordinary. There are 17 pages(!) on the HHR forums about the blower motor resistor failure.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Compatibility
