Draft Inducer Motor

Draft Inducer Motor

Your furnace’s draft inducer motor removes toxic gases like carbon monoxide from the heat exchanger. The average cost to repair or replace a draft inducer motor is $200–$1,500.

What happens when inducer motor fails?

Although it’s a fairly simple component, inducer motors have one of the highest failure rates of any part within a furnace. A failing inducer motor often creates bothersome noises and reduces the efficiency of the furnace. If it gives out completely, your furnace will be unable to provide heat altogether.

What causes draft inducer motor failure?

Most inducer motors failures are simply attributed to the older age of the furnace. In most cases, the internal bearings wear out and since the unit is a sealed unit, there is no way to repair the original motor. Instead the unit is simply replaced with a new one.

How long does a draft inducer motor last?

A: On average, you can expect a well-built inducer motor to last around 20 years.

How long does an inducer motor last?

A furnace inducer motor lasts 10 to 20 years on average. Annual maintenance is the best way to extend the furnace inducer’s lifespan.

How much does it cost to replace a inducer motor on a carrier furnace?

Draft inducer motor – $200 – $1,500. Blower motor – $400 – $1,500.

Can you run a furnace without an inducer motor?

You won’t have heat when the inducer goes out. The inducer is the part of your furnace that houses the fan that pulls air over the furnace heat source and pushes it out through the vents.

Why am I not getting power to my inducer motor?

If the inducer motor is only getting partial voltage (such as 70 or 80VAC), then it could be a loose connection. Another symptom of a loose wiring connection is an inducer fan that keeps turning on and off. Check all the connectors between the inducer fan motor and the furnace control board to make sure they are tight.

Do inducer motors get hot?

The original inducer was replaced for an unrelated issue, overheating wasn’t an issue. These motors normally run pretty warm/hot, flue gasses are hot “conductive heat” might have something to do with it, is yours overheating? My guess if it were really overheating, it would shutdown on internal thermal protection.

Why is my inducer motor loud?

Noisy Draft Inducer

The small motor mounted within the housing can begin to make noise when there is buildup on the wheel (such as sulfur or creosote) or when the motor is close to the end of its usable life. The remedy for a noisy inducer is to replace the entire assembly.

Why do I have water in my inducer motor?

one cause is an improperly pitched vent pipe. If the pipe doesn’t have the proper pitch back towards the furnace, it will fill with water while the furnace is running. As soon as it shuts off, the water rushes back towards the furnace, overloads the in-line drain fitting, and ends up in the inducer.

What does the inducer motor do on a furnace?

The inducer motor turns on and draws combustion air into the furnace. This helps to make sure the gas is burning efficiently. Next, an ignitor will either glow or spark to ignite the gas that starts flowing. This gas ignites into flames while the hot air and obnoxious gases are drawn into the heat exchanger.
