Product Description
The Braemar TB 90 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is a critical component in the Braemar TB 90 gas ducted heating system. This motor powers the blower fan that circulates warm air throughout your home, ensuring even and efficient heating.
1. Function of the Blower Fan Motor:
- Air Circulation: The motor drives the fan blades, which push warm air from the heater through the ductwork and into the rooms of your home. This allows for consistent and effective heating throughout your living space.
- Single-Speed Operation: The motor operates at a fixed speed, providing steady airflow during the entire heating process.
- Power Rating: With a 315-watt power rating, this motor ensures that the fan is capable of circulating air efficiently, making it suitable for heating homes of various sizes.
2. Key Features:
- Single-Speed Operation: The motor operates at a constant speed, ensuring a consistent and reliable airflow to distribute heat evenly across your home.
- 315-Watt Power: The motor is rated at 315 watts, ensuring sufficient power to drive the blower fan and circulate warm air effectively throughout your home.
- Durability: The motor is designed to handle continuous use, particularly during colder months when the heating system is required most often.
3. Common Symptoms of a Faulty Blower Fan Motor:
- No Airflow: If the motor fails, the fan will not spin, and warm air will not circulate through your home.
- Weak or Inconsistent Airflow: A malfunctioning motor can result in weak or uneven airflow, leading to inconsistent heating across different rooms in your home.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, squealing, or rattling noises may indicate that the motor is failing, or the fan blades are damaged.
- Overheating: If the motor is malfunctioning, it could overheat, triggering the system's safety mechanisms to shut down the heater.
- Error Codes/Lockout: Modern systems like the Braemar TB 90 may display error codes or enter a lockout mode when the blower motor is not functioning properly, preventing the system from operating.
4. Replacement Considerations:
- Correct Part Number (PN. 076935): When replacing the motor, ensure that you are using the correct PN. 076935 motor to guarantee compatibility with your Braemar TB 90 heater.
- Motor Specifications: Double-check that the replacement motor matches the original in terms of 315-watt power and single-speed operation to ensure optimal performance.
- Professional Installation: If you're not comfortable replacing the motor yourself, it is advisable to hire a licensed HVAC technician to carry out the installation to ensure safety and proper functionality.
5. Installation Process:
- Turn Off Power and Gas: Before performing any repairs or replacements, turn off the power and gas to the heater to avoid any safety risks.
- Access the Blower Motor: Open the access panel to locate the blower motor. Depending on the design of the system, you may need to remove other components to gain access.
- Disconnect the Old Motor: Unplug the electrical connections from the old motor and remove any screws or clips securing the motor in place.
- Install the New Motor: Place the new motor into position, securing it with screws or clips. Reconnect the electrical wiring according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Test the System: After installing the new motor, restore the power and gas, then test the system to ensure the blower fan is working properly and that warm air is circulating throughout your home.
6. Maintenance Tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the motor and fan blades periodically to prevent dust and debris from accumulating, which could affect airflow and cause overheating.
- Listen for Unusual Noises: Pay attention to any strange sounds like grinding or squeaking, which may indicate a problem with the motor or the fan blades.
- Inspect for Wear: Check the motor and fan for any signs of wear, such as cracks, rust, or loose parts, which could interfere with performance.
- Lubrication: If the motor requires lubrication, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure smooth operation and prevent friction damage.
7. Conclusion:
The Braemar TB 90 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is an essential part of your Braemar TB 90 heating system. If the motor fails or is malfunctioning, replacing it with the correct PN. 076935 motor will restore the system’s ability to circulate warm air and maintain consistent temperatures in your home.
