This video provides general information on how a furnace draft inducer fan motor works, how to test the part, where it is commonly located, and general installation guidelines.

Furnace

RCC-FASCO-FURNACE

Furnace not heating

Type: Shaded Pole; Diameter: 3.3"; HP: 1/20; Volts: 115; RPM: 3000; Speeds: 1; Amps: 2.6; Rotation: Clockwise; Bearings: BALL. The draft inducer motor draws air into the burner and exhausts it out the flue. If the draft inducer motor is defective, the furnace may not heat.

The draft inducer motor draws air into the heat exchanger and then exhausts it out the flue. The pressure switch senses a pressure change and closes a switch to signal the control board that the furnace has proper air flow.  If the draft inducer motor is defective, it may be unable to close the pressure switch, causing the ignition process to stall and the furnace to shut off after a few minutes. If the ignition process stalls, the furnace will shut off. If the draft inducer motor is at fault, replace it.

Furnace is noisy or loud

The draft inducer motor draws air into the burner and then exhausts it out the flue. If the motor bearings are worn out, the motor will be loud. If the draft inducer motor is unusually noisy, replace it.

Furnace starts then stops

Furnace burners won't stay lit

The draft inducer motor draws air into the heat exchanger and then exhausts it out the flue. The pressure switch senses a pressure change and closes a switch to signal the control board that the furnace has proper air flow. If the draft inducer motor is defective, it may be unable to close the pressure switch, causing the ignition process to stall and the burners not to stay lit. If the ignition process stalls, the furnace will shut off. If the draft inducer motor is at fault, replace it.

Furnace takes too long to heat the home

The draft inducer motor draws air into the heat exchanger and then exhausts it out the flue. The pressure switch senses a pressure change and closes a switch to signal the control board that the furnace has proper air flow. If the draft inducer motor is defective, it may be unable to close the pressure switch, causing the ignition process to stall and the furnace to shut off after a few minutes. If the ignition process stalls, the furnace will shut off and take too long to heat the home. If the draft inducer motor is at fault, replace it.

Strange smells coming from furnace

The draft inducer motor draws air into the heat exchanger and then exhausts it out the flue. The pressure switch senses a pressure change and closes a switch to signal the control board that the furnace has proper air flow. If the draft inducer motor is defective, it may be unable to close the pressure switch, causing the ignition process to stall and the furnace to shut off after a few minutes. If the ignition process stalls, the furnace will shut off. If the draft inducer motor smells burnt, or has power but is not turning, replace it.


Furnace is frequently cycling/short cycling

The draft inducer motor draws air into the heat exchanger and then exhausts it out the flue. The pressure switch senses a pressure change and closes a switch to signal the control board that the furnace has proper air flow. If the draft inducer motor is defective, it may be unable to close the pressure switch, or close it intermittently, causing the ignition process to stall and the furnace to shut off after a few minutes. If the ignition process stalls, the furnace will shut off. If the draft inducer motor is at fault, replace it.

Furnace circuit breaker keeps tripping

The draft inducer motor draws air into the heat exchanger and then exhausts it out the flue. The pressure switch senses a pressure change and closes a switch to signal the control board that the furnace has proper air flow. If the draft inducer motor is shorted it may trip the circuit breaker when power is sent to it. You can try disconnecting the motor from the control board to see if the circuit breaker still trips. You can also check the motor windings for a short with a multimeter. If the motor windings are shorted or the breaker doesn't trip when its disconnected, the draft inducer motor will need to be replaced.
