1 Stage Draft Inducer Blower

Few tips on installation since it doesn't come with instructions. Your replacement will have 3 wires coming out of the motor body. One is the green ground with an eye ring. Another is a black wire that goes to one side of a limit switch connector. That connector, probably white in color, is secured to the draft inducer body held in place by two small screws. You will reattach that white connector to your replacement inducer body. The limit switch itself is behind the white connector, whose body fits into a round indentation molded into the inducer body. You will have to remove the bad inducer motor wire in it, and slide the new inducer spade connector back into the white connector body. The third wire is white, and it has a female white housing on its end. The male end of the wire that goes into it must be removed, which is tricky to get out. The process is fairly straightforward as the hose clamp on top must be loosened, the three wires mentioned above removed, and 3 screws holding the draft inducer to the vertical plate removed to free it. Install the limit switch connector to your new draft inducer as mentioned above. Secure the draft inducer to the plate by first lining up the exhaust outlet to the vent tube and line up the 3 draft inducer mounting points to the holes in the plate and tighten back in place. Tighten the band clamp on the exhaust port. Secure the ground wire as the original one was to the housing with its sheet metal screw. Lastly plug in the female white connector to the white male wire end. Use a cable tie to secure the wires out of the way. Not difficult to install, but a little tricky getting the spade connector and male connector out of the plastic bodies they insert back into.

I had to HUNT the internet to find detailed instructions on how to install the Inducer Blower and finally YOUTUBE came to the rescue because the blower came in a brown box and NOTHING ELSE - no instructions of any kind. I called SupplyHouse and they didn't help me either. All their propaganda of saying they offer friendly assistance I found to be B.S.. So, I finally installed the part as shown on YouTube and it ran perfectly. HOWEVER, since it took about 20 minutes of continuous running to heat our house up to the 68-degree range, the inducer blower felt Hot to the touch. Now that the house is in our regular 67-68 heat range, everything works as it should, and the blower is not running hot.
