EB17D Fan Blower/Motor issues

I had a new system installed in my 1999 Southern Energy 16x80 mobile home in August 2010. They put a Lennox compressor unit on the outside and a Coleman EB17D air handler on the inside. Since that time I have had to replace the fan motor 3 times, and it went out again yesterday. Could there be a compatibility issue with the 2 units? Replacing the fan assembly every few months is a bit over the top, even for a "cheap" unit. I use the term cheap because that's what the last technician called it (I paid over $5K for the system). He used a "universal" assembly that time because the previous 2 Coleman parts had burned out so quickly. I'm at a loss for what to do, other than keep changing the fan every few months (at least it's under warranty every time).

If the blower motor is too big or too small, it will wear out prematurely.
