Product Description
The Braemar TA 15 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is an essential part of the Braemar TA 15 gas ducted heating system. It powers the blower fan, responsible for circulating the warm air generated by the heater throughout the ductwork in your home, ensuring that heat is distributed evenly to all areas.
1. Function of the Blower Fan Motor:
- The blower fan motor drives the fan that moves warm air through the Braemar TA 15 heating system’s ductwork and into your home’s living spaces.
- It operates at single speed, providing steady airflow to distribute heat consistently throughout the house.
- The 315-watt power rating ensures that the motor is strong enough to provide optimal airflow, even in homes with larger or more complex ducting systems.
2. Key Features:
- Single-Speed Operation: The motor runs at a fixed speed, delivering consistent airflow for uniform heating throughout your home.
- 315-Watt Power: The 315-watt motor provides enough power for efficient air circulation, making it suitable for a variety of home sizes.
- Durability: Built to last, the motor is designed to withstand regular operation during the colder months when heating systems are used frequently.
3. Common Symptoms of a Faulty Blower Fan Motor:
- No Airflow: If the motor stops functioning completely, the fan will not operate, and no warm air will circulate, leading to inadequate heating.
- Weak or Inconsistent Airflow: If the motor is malfunctioning, the airflow may become weak or inconsistent, resulting in uneven heating throughout your home.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds may be signs that the motor or fan blades are damaged or worn out.
- Overheating: A faulty motor may overheat, causing the system’s safety features to shut down the heater to prevent further damage.
- Error Codes or Lockout: Modern systems, such as the Braemar TA 15, may display error codes or enter lockout mode when the motor fails, preventing the system from operating.
4. Replacement Considerations:
- Correct Part Number (PN. 076935): Ensure that you are using the correct replacement motor with the PN. 076935 part number to ensure compatibility with the Braemar TA 15.
- Motor Specifications: Confirm that the replacement motor has the same 315-watt power rating and single-speed operation as the original motor to maintain system performance.
- Professional Installation: If you're not experienced with HVAC repairs, it's advisable to hire a licensed HVAC technician to install the new motor. Proper installation is essential for the system to function safely and effectively.
5. Installation Process:
- Turn Off Power and Gas: Always turn off the power supply and gas to your heater before performing any maintenance to avoid electrical or gas-related risks.
- Access the Blower Motor: Remove the access panel to locate the blower motor. You may need to unscrew or unclip parts of the heater to reach the motor.
- Disconnect the Old Motor: Disconnect the electrical wiring from the old motor, and remove the motor from its mount by loosening any screws or clips holding it in place.
- Install the New Motor: Position the new motor in place, securing it with screws or clips. Reconnect the wiring according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Test the System: Once the motor is installed, turn the power and gas back on and test the system to ensure the blower fan operates smoothly and warm air is being distributed evenly throughout the home.
6. Maintenance Tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the blower motor and fan blades periodically to remove dust, dirt, and debris that could obstruct airflow and damage the motor.
- Listen for Unusual Sounds: If you hear any unusual noises like grinding or squealing, this could be a sign that the motor or fan blades need attention.
- Inspect for Wear: Regularly inspect the motor and fan components for any signs of wear, such as cracks or rust. Early identification of issues can prevent more significant problems later.
- Lubrication: If required by the manufacturer, lubricate the motor to reduce friction and extend the lifespan of the motor.
7. Conclusion:
The Braemar TA 15 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is an essential part of the Braemar TA 15 gas ducted heater, ensuring that warm air is effectively circulated throughout the home. If the blower motor is malfunctioning or has failed, replacing it with the correct PN. 076935 motor will restore the heater’s ability to distribute heat efficiently.
If you're unsure about replacing the motor yourself, it’s always a good idea to call a licensed HVAC technician for professional installation. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of faulty components will help your heating system run smoothly and efficiently for many years.
