INTRODUCTION
Fig. 1 – ECM Inducers
A13034
This instruction covers the installation of the single-speed, two-speed, and
modulating inducer assemblies on condensing 35-in. (889 mm) tall, high-
efficiency units.
The inducer should be replaced when the motor is seized, open, shorted or
grounded. The PSC motor is equipped with an internal thermal overload. If the
overload is open, allow time (several minutes) for the overload to reset.
ECM inducer motors do not have an internal overload and are internally
protected through the electronics in the motor controller. There are four (4)
different PSC inducer assemblies to service all single-stage and 2-stage
furnaces with PSC inducers.
Each of the four (4) PSC motors has a different horsepower and/or rpm range
required for the various size furnaces.
The motor supplied in the kit for furnaces with PSC inducers is a two-speed
inducer motor. Single-stage operation is achieved through the use of an
adapter harness included with the kit.
There is one (1) kit for modulating furnaces. The replacement assembly may
look different from the assembly installed on the furnace, but operates the
same as the original motor. The new modulating furnace inducer kit does not
require an adapter harness, see Fig. 1.
Refer to Table 2 for the correct furnace and kit combination.
DESCRIPTION AND USAGE
Use this inducer assembly kit to replace a failed inducer assembly. The
assembly cannot be disassembled to remove or repair individual components. The
kit contains the following items shown in Table 1.
NOTE: Inducer assembly consists of motor, wheel, inducer housing, inlet
gasket, inlet choke plate and condensate drain gasket. It will be necessary to
reuse some components from the old inducer assembly.
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit damage.
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.

Pressure Switch or Pressure Transducer Tube Removal
Fig. 2 – Inducer Assembly with Pressure Switches(Modulating/Ultra-Low NOx
model is similar)
A11361
NOTE: There are two types of pressure switches. The modulating pressure
switch assembly has three pressure switches. Two are side-by-side with the
third switch mounted to the back of one of the switches.
The Ultra-Low NOx furnace uses a pressure transducer attached to the inducer
wire harness or mounted to a panel instead of a pressure switch.It is not
necessary to remove the pressure transducer when replacing the inducer
assembly.
All other furnaces have two pressure switches mounted back-to-back. Pressure
switches for PSC inducers have a tube on the back pressure switch that
connects to the port on the inducer assembly. Pressure switches for the
modulating inducers only have one pressure switch tube. The pressure
transducer for the Ultra-Low NOx model is not connected to the inducer
assembly.
- Remove the front pressure switch or pressure transducer tube from the port on the collector box, see Fig. 2. For Utlra Low NOx models, go to Step 7. for all other models, and continue with Step 2.
- Disconnect the pressure switch harness (modulating only) from the main wiring harness or remove the individual wires from the front pressure switch (non-modulating). Note the location of the wires for reassembly.
- Remove the screws that attach the pressure switch assembly to the inducer.
- Remove the back pressure switch tube that connects to the inducer assembly (PSC only).
- Remove the wires from the back pressure switch. Note the location of the wires for reassembly. (PSC only).
- Set the pressure switches aside.
- If the relief tube for the condensate trap or pressure transducer tube is routed across the inducer assembly, remove the tube from the port on the collector box and from the stand-offs on the inducer and move the tube aside
