• Application: Typically used in small-tonnage residential indoor fan coils and air handling units.

Why Choose Genuine Carrier OEM?

Indoor blower motors must run consistently to maintain proper static pressure and quiet performance. Substandard universal replacements can draw incorrect amperage, causing the motor to run hot and fail prematurely under full load. This Genuine Carrier motor is built for strict thermal compliance and low vibration, protecting the longevity of your system components and preserving original factory operational decibels.

Pro-Tech Installation & Maintenance Tip: This blower motor is securely mounted inside the air handler using a belly-band style bracket.

• Blower Assembly Maintenance: When replacing this motor, it is highly recommended to remove the entire blower housing assembly from the unit. Make sure to thoroughly clean out the housing and the blower wheel blades/fins.
• Preventing Vibration: Over time, indoor blower wheels accumulate a layer of dust and lint. If any of this crust gets partially knocked loose or disturbed during a motor change, the wheel will become unevenly balanced. Running an unbalanced wheel at high speeds creates significant mechanical vibrations that can damage your new motor's bearings and create noise throughout the ductwork.
• Electrical Safety: You should always replace the 5 µF run capacitor when installing a new motor to ensure optimal starting torque and proper amperage draw. Verify that the motor shaft spins freely by hand and that the hub set screw is locked down tightly against the flat side of the shaft before restoring power. You can see that capacitor here.
