Step 2ÐBlower Motor and Wheel
The following items should be performed by a qualified service technician:
To ensure long life, economy, and high efficiency, clean accumu- lated dirt and grease from blower wheel and motor annually.
The inducer and blower motors are prelubricated and require no additional lubrication. These motors can be identified by the absence of oil ports on each end of the motor.
Clean blower motor and wheel as follows:
1.Turn off electrical supply to furnace.
2.Remove control and blower access doors.
3.Disconnect blower leads from furnace control. Notice wire color and location for reassembly.
All other factory wires can be left connected, but field thermostat connections may need to be disconnected depend- ing on their length and routing.
4.Remove 2 screws securing control and transformer support to furnace.
5.Hang control box and transformer support to front of furnace casing.
6.Remove screws holding blower assembly to blower deck and slide blower assembly out of furnace.
7.Clean blower wheel and motor using a vacuum with soft brush attachment. Do not remove or disturb balance weights (clips) on blower wheel blades. The blower wheel should not be dropped or bent as balance will be affected.
8.If a greasy residue is present on blower wheel, remove wheel from the blower housing and wash it with an appropriate degreaser. To remove wheel:
a.Mark blower wheel location on shaft before disassembly to ensure proper reassembly.
b.Loosen setscrew holding blower wheel on motor shaft.
NOTE: Mark blower mounting arms, motor, and blower housing so motor and each arm is positioned at the same location during reassembly.
c.Mark blower wheel orientation and cutoff plate location to ensure proper reassembly.
d.Remove screws securing cutoff plate and remove cutoff plate from housing.
e.Remove bolts holding motor mounts to blower housing and slide motor and mounts out of housing. Disconnect capaci- tor and ground wire attached to blower housing before removing motor. Motor mount belly band need not be removed unless motor is to be replaced.
f.Remove blower wheel from housing.
The blower wheel should not be dropped or bend as balance will be affected.
9.Reassemble motor and blower by reversing items 9a through 9f. Be sure to reattach ground wire.
10.Reinstall blower assembly in furnace.
11.Reinstall control and transformer support assembly in furnace.
12.Reconnect blower leads to furnace control.
Refer to furnace wiring diagram (See Fig. 6), and connect thermostat leads if previously disconnected.
NOTE: Refer to Table 1 for motor speed lead relocation if leads were not identified before disconnection

Heating speed selection MUST be adjusted to provide proper temperature rise as specified on the rating plate. Failure to adjust the heating speed may shorten heat exchanger life.
13.Turn on electrical supply. Manually close blower access door switch. Use a piece of tape to hold switch closed. Check for proper rotation and speed changes between heating and cooling by jumpering R to W and then R to Y on furnace control thermostat terminals.
Blower access door switch opens
NOTE: If thermostat terminals are jumpered before blower access door switch is closed, blower will run for 90 sec before beginning a heating or cooling cycle.
