SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to gas and
electrical components. Only trained personnel should install or service
heating equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as cleaning
coils, or cleaning and replacing filters. All other operations should be
performed by trained service personnel. When working on heating equipment,
observe precautions in the literature, on tags, and on labels attached to the
unit. Recognize safety information.
This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on the unit and in
instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most
serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING
signifies a hazard which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is
used to identify unsafe practices which would result in minor personal injury
or product and property damage.
NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced
installation, reliability, or operation.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Have a fire
extinguisher available.
WARNING
PERSONAL SAFETY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or
property damage.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance, or use
can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, explosion, fire, electrical shock, or
other conditions which could result in personal injury or death. Consult your
distributor or branch for information or assistance.

accessories when servicing this product.
INTRODUCTION
This instruction covers the inducer motor assembly installation on non-
condensing, 33.3-inch (846 mm) high, mid-efficiency hot surface igniter units.
The inducer should be replaced when the motor is seized or when the windings
are open, shorted or grounded. The motor is equipped with an internal thermal
overload. If the overload is open, allow time (several minutes) for overload
to reset. There are currently 6 different inducer assemblies to service all
single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed furnaces. Each motor has a
different horsepower and/or RPM range required for the various size furnaces.
The motor supplied in the kit is a two-speed inducer motor. Single stage
operation is achieved through the use of an adapter harness included with the
kit. Refer to Table 1 or Table 2 below for the correct furnace and kit
combination.
DESCRIPTION AND USAGE
The Inducer Motor Assembly Replacement Kit can be utilized to restore units
having inducer assemblies that require repair. This kit contains the following
items:
A complete inducer motor assembly, single-stage adapter harness, inducer motor
mounting gasket, and screws.

INSTALLATION
Step 1 – Remove Inducer Motor Assembly
-
Turn off electric supplies to unit and set thermostat to lowest setting or “OFF”. More than one disconnect may be required to disconnect power to unit.
-
Turn off gas at external shut-off.
-
Remove exterior door by loosening thumbscrew and pulling door forward.
-
Turn electric switch on gas valve to “OFF.”
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Inducer is close to Vent Elbow assembly. Vent Elbow, Vent Connector or Inducer Motor may be hot. Using the incorrect inducer motor assembly could result in no pressure switch operation, poor ignition, poor combustion, erratic burner operation/burner pulsations, flame roll-out or noise. -
Disconnect pressure switch tube from Inducer Housing/Collector Box.
-
Remove pressure switch mounting bracket from furnace casing and move switch aside.
-
Unplug inducer motor wires from wiring harness.
NOTE: Verify the orientation of the motor wiring harness and inducer cooling shield before removing inducer motor assembly. New inducer motor assembly must be installed in same orientation for proper furnace operation. -
Remove three screws securing inducer motor assembly (motor, wheel, and mount) to inducer housing and pull inducer motor assembly away from mounting flange. Note where inducer motor ground lead is connected.
-
Remove any gasket residue from inducer mounting flange on inducer housing/collector box.
-
Inspect and remove any loose rust or scale from inside collector box.
-
Clean pressure switch tube port on collector box with a wire or small drill bit. If water is present in tube, remove tube from pressure switch and clean. If cracked or broken, replace tube.
NOTE: Water in the pressure switch tubing indicates condensed water vapor
from the flue gas or water leaking in through the vent or flashing.
Water collecting in the vent system must be corrected. Refer to the System
Check-Out procedures below for assistance in determining the cause of the
condensed water vapor.
Step 2 – Installation of Inducer Motor Assembly
-
Verify old inducer motor gasket is removed from inducer mounting flange on inducer motor assembly/collector box.
NOTE: A new inducer motor assembly gasket is provided in the inducer motor assembly kit. -
Place new inducer motor gasket (provided in kit) around flange on collector box. Use a small piece of tape or a small amount of RTV silicone to temporarily hold gasket in place during inducer motor assembly.
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Do not use RTV in place of inducer gasket. RTV may flow on to inducer wheel, creating an out-of balance condition, which may cause premature failure of the motor. -
Align inducer motor assembly with mounting holes and attach to collector box. Verify inducer motor ground wire is reinstalled in original location and the inducer cooling fan shield on the inducer motor assembly is oriented as shown in Fig. 1.
-
Spin black plastic cooling fan on inducer motor to be certain there is no interference inside of inducer housing. If interference occurs, wheel must be readjusted.
-
Re-install pressure switch tube on port located on Inducer Housing/Collector Box.
-
Re-install pressure switch mounting bracket to furnace casing.
-
Connect inducer motor leads to inducer motor, see Fig. 2.
a. On two-stage and variable-speed furnaces, connect furnace wiring harness directly to harness on inducer motor.
b. On single-speed furnaces, attach adapter harness included in kit to harness on inducer motor. Connect white lead from furnace harness to white lead on adapter harness to black lead on adapter harness. -
Turn electrical supply “On.”
-
Turn gas supply “On” at gas control and at external shut-off.
NOTE: Blower will run for 90 sec if thermostat is calling for heat when 120-V power is restored. Fault code 12 or 1+2 will flash after 90 sec. To clear the fault code, turn off power, turn thermostat off or down below room setting. Turn power back on. Set thermostat to desired temperature.
Step 3 – System Check-Out
-
Set thermostat to “OFF”. Initiate component test through circuit board by referring to “Component Test” on status code label on blower access door for complete test sequence information.
-
If any faults are flashed, refer to fault code label on unit blower door.
-
Set thermostat to initiate a call for heat.
-
Allow unit to initiate a complete call for heat cycle.
-
Check for air leakage around inducer motor assembly at collector box.
NOTE: A severely corroded inducer wheel may have been caused by one or more of the following conditions. As part of the system check-out, verify that the following conditions are not affecting the operation of the furnace:/
• Short Cycling: Defective thermostat, Incorrect thermostat anticipator setting, dirty filter or over-sized furnace.
• Under firing/low BTU input: Set manifold pressure and verify firing rate as shown on rating plate by clocking the gas meter.
• Low temperature rise: Set unit for correct temperature rise range as shown on unit rating plate.
• Contaminated combustion air: Remove contaminates or provide ample fresh air for combustion.
• Excessive amounts of outside ventilation air: Return air temperature cannot be below 60°F (16°C) for extended periods of time.
• Incorrect venting: Verify proper venting per local code. Type B vent connector is required for two-stage units and may be required for other applications.
For additional information, and a complete sequence of furnace operation, refer to furnace Installation, Start-Up and Operating Instructions. -
After System Check-out is complete, set thermostat below room temperature.
-
Verify that burner shuts down and blower runs for the selected off delay time.
-
Verify furnace operates properly and set thermostat to desired room temperature.
-
Re-install outer door.
NOTE: Always use the new gasket provided in the kit. Do not over tighten
mounting screws to avoid stripping screws.
Spin cooling fan by hand after installation to verify that the wheel does not
rub.
