The Diagnosis

A Furnace That Never Got Past the Inducer

The inducer is a small blower inside the furnace. It pulls combustion gases through the furnace and pushes them out the vent, and the furnace won’t light its burners until that draft is proven.

Here’s the original inducer motor still in place, with the front panel off. Our technician checked it and confirmed the motor had failed. That’s why the furnace wasn’t running.

The Removal

Taking Out the Faulty Inducer Assembly

We disconnected the wiring and removed the whole inducer assembly from the cabinet, housing and all. With it out, the vent connection it mounts to was open and ready for the new part.

The Install

New Inducer Motor, Adapter Harness Included

The replacement inducer motor assembly needed an adapter harness to connect properly to the furnace’s existing wiring. We fitted the harness, mounted the new assembly in place of the old one and connected it up.

Before We Left

Gas Pressure Set, Then Full Heating Cycles

With the new inducer in, our technician connected a manometer at the gas valve, checked the gas pressure and adjusted it to the right operating spec.

Then we cycled the furnace and watched each step: ignition, inducer operation, burner operation and heat output. Everything worked as it should, and the furnace was back to normal operation before we finished the call.
