This single-phase motor creates the necessary draft to pull combustion air into the burner assembly and safely exhaust combustion gases through the flue system.

Key Features:

• 1/16 horsepower motor provides reliable performance for proper furnace operation
• 230-volt single-phase power supply for compatibility with standard HVAC electrical systems
• Draws air into the burner and exhausts gases out the flue to maintain proper air-to-fuel ratio
• Essential component for ensuring efficient combustion and preventing carbon monoxide buildup
• Designed for International Comfort Products, Heil, and Tempstar gas furnaces

Draft inducer motors are critical safety components in modern high-efficiency furnaces. This motor activates before the burners ignite to establish proper draft and ventilation. If the draft inducer motor fails, the furnace will not operate, as the pressure switch will prevent ignition. Common symptoms of inducer motor failure include unusual humming or rattling noises, failure to start, or the furnace shutting down prematurely.
