Product Description
The Braemar TE 415 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is an essential component of the Braemar TE 415 gas ducted heating system. This motor drives the blower fan, which circulates the warm air throughout the duct system, ensuring efficient and consistent heating throughout your home.
Key Features and Details:
-
Function of the Blower Fan Motor:
- The 315-watt motor powers the blower fan in the Braemar TE 415 system, which helps distribute warm air generated by the heater to various rooms via the ductwork.
- Single-Speed Operation: The motor operates at one fixed speed, providing consistent airflow for steady heating performance. This helps ensure that all areas of your home receive even and reliable warmth.
- The motor ensures that warm air flows smoothly through the duct system, contributing to the overall comfort and efficiency of your heating system.
-
Motor Specifications:
- Power Rating: The motor is rated at 315 watts, providing enough power to effectively drive the blower fan in the system, ensuring the proper distribution of warm air.
- Single-Speed Function: The motor runs at a fixed speed, ensuring a constant airflow that helps maintain uniform heating throughout your space.
- Durability: The motor is built to last, designed to operate continuously in your Braemar TE 415 system to provide reliable heating over an extended period.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Blower Fan Motor:
- No Airflow: If the motor fails, the blower fan won't work, meaning no warm air will circulate throughout the system, resulting in cold rooms.
- Weak or Uneven Airflow: A malfunctioning motor can cause weak airflow or inconsistent airflow, leading to cold spots in certain areas of your home.
- Unusual Noises: If you hear grinding, rattling, or squeaking sounds coming from the system, it may indicate motor issues such as worn-out bearings or debris in the fan.
- Overheating: The motor may overheat if there are internal problems, such as friction, which can cause the motor to shut off or operate inefficiently.
- Error Codes: Many modern heating systems show error codes if there is a fault in the motor, helping you diagnose the problem.
-
Replacement Considerations:
- Correct Part Number (PN. 076935): When replacing the blower motor, make sure the new motor matches the part number PN. 076935 to ensure compatibility with the Braemar TE 415 system.
- Motor Specifications: The replacement motor should have the same 315-watt power rating and single-speed function to maintain the heating system’s performance.
- Professional Installation: Replacing the blower motor can be complex and may require expertise. It's recommended to have the motor replaced by a licensed HVAC technician to ensure proper installation and avoid any damage to the system.
-
Installation Process:
- Turn Off Power and Gas: Before attempting any repairs, make sure to turn off the electrical power and gas supply to the system to avoid any accidents or hazards.
- Access the Motor: Remove the necessary panels or components to access the blower motor. This may involve removing screws or fasteners to open the system and gain access.
- Disconnect the Old Motor: Carefully disconnect the electrical wiring and any other attachments connected to the old motor. Remove any fasteners securing the motor in place.
- Install the New Motor: Place the replacement motor (PN. 076935) into the appropriate position, secure it with screws or fasteners, and reconnect the wiring as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Test the System: After installation, restore the power and gas supply, and test the system to ensure the blower fan is operating smoothly and providing even airflow.
-
Maintenance Tips:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the motor and blower fan blades to prevent dust and debris buildup, which can affect the motor’s efficiency and lead to overheating.
- Lubrication: Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for lubricating the motor if needed. Proper lubrication reduces friction and extends the motor’s lifespan.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the motor for any signs of damage, rust, or wear, and replace any worn-out components to prevent further issues.
- Monitor for Noises: Listen for any unusual noises during operation. Grinding or squeaking sounds may indicate the need for motor maintenance or replacement.
Conclusion:
The Braemar TE 415 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is a crucial part of the heating system, ensuring that warm air is efficiently distributed throughout your home. If you notice a lack of airflow, unusual sounds, or inconsistent heating, it could be time to replace the motor.
