Fig. 5ÐModel 58DFA Downflow

BLOWER MOTOR AND WHEEL Ð For long life, economy, and high efficiency, clean accumulated dirt and grease from the blower wheel and motor annually.

The following steps should be performed by a qualified service technician:

Some motors have prelubricated sealed bearings and require no lubrication. These motors can be identified by the absence of oil ports on each end of the motor. For motors with oil ports, lubricate motor every 5 years if motor is used on intermittent operation (thermostat FAN switch in AUTO position), or every 2 years if motor is in continuous operation (thermostat FAN switch in ON position).

Remember to disconnect the electrical supply before removing access doors.

Clean and lubricate as follows:

1.Remove 2 screws from blower access door (downflow furnace only). Remove blower access door.

2.Remove vent pipe enclosure (downflow furnace only) and disconnect short piece of vent pipe from relief box.

3.Disconnect wires from auxiliary limit on blower housing (downflow furnace only).

4.Remove control box.

5.Remove electrical leads from numbered side of blower speed selector. (See Fig. 4 and 5.) Note location of wires for reassembly.

6.Remove screws holding blower assembly to blower deck and slide blower assembly out of furnace.

7.Squeeze side tabs of blower speed selector and pull it out of blower housing.

8.Loosen screw in strap holding motor capacitor to blower housing and slide capacitor out from under strap.
