Product Description
The Braemar TE 90 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is a vital component of the Braemar TE 90 gas ducted heating system. It powers the blower fan that circulates warm air from the heater throughout the ductwork, ensuring an even and efficient heating process across the home.
1. Function of the Blower Fan Motor:
- Air Circulation: The motor drives the blower fan to push warm air through the ducts, ensuring the heat is distributed evenly throughout the space.
- Single-Speed Operation: The motor runs at a fixed speed to maintain a consistent and steady airflow, providing reliable performance during the heating cycle.
- Power Rating: With a 315-watt power rating, this motor is capable of circulating air efficiently and providing optimal heating, even for larger spaces.
2. Key Features:
- Single-Speed Operation: The motor operates at a constant, single speed, ensuring steady airflow for the entire heating cycle.
- 315-Watt Power: The motor provides sufficient power to circulate air effectively, making it ideal for ensuring consistent heating performance in your home.
- Durability: Designed for long-term reliability, this motor is built to endure continuous operation, especially during colder months when your heating system is used frequently.
3. Common Symptoms of a Faulty Blower Fan Motor:
- No Airflow: A faulty motor will prevent the blower fan from turning, meaning warm air will not circulate through your home.
- Weak or Inconsistent Airflow: A failing motor may result in weak or inconsistent airflow, causing uneven heating and reduced comfort.
- Unusual Noises: If the motor or fan blades are malfunctioning, you may hear grinding, squeaking, or rattling noises, indicating potential damage.
- Overheating: A motor in poor condition may overheat, which can trigger the heater’s safety systems to shut it down.
- Error Codes/Lockout: Modern systems like the Braemar TE 90 may enter a lockout mode or display error codes when the blower motor malfunctions, preventing the system from operating.
4. Replacement Considerations:
- Correct Part Number (PN. 076935): Always ensure you are using the correct PN. 076935 motor when replacing the blower fan motor to ensure compatibility with your Braemar TE 90 heating system.
- Motor Specifications: Double-check that the replacement motor has the same 315-watt power and single-speed operation as the original to guarantee optimal functionality.
- Professional Installation: If you are unfamiliar with the replacement process, it is advisable to hire a licensed HVAC technician to install the motor to ensure safe and correct installation.
5. Installation Process:
- Turn Off Power and Gas: Ensure that both the power and gas to the heater are completely turned off to avoid any electrical or gas-related hazards.
- Access the Blower Motor: Open the access panel or remove other components that may be obstructing access to the blower motor. The exact procedure may vary based on the system design.
- Disconnect the Old Motor: Unplug the electrical connections from the old motor and remove the screws or clips that hold the motor in place.
- Install the New Motor: Secure the new motor into place and reconnect the electrical wiring according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure the motor is properly mounted and aligned.
- Test the System: After installation, turn the power and gas back on, and test the system to ensure the new motor operates properly, circulating warm air effectively through the ducts.
6. Maintenance Tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Dust and debris can accumulate on the motor and fan blades over time, reducing airflow and causing the system to overheat. Clean the motor and fan blades regularly to maintain optimal performance.
- Listen for Unusual Noises: If you hear any strange sounds, such as grinding or squealing, this could indicate an issue with the motor or fan blades that may require immediate attention.
- Inspect for Wear: Check for signs of wear or damage, such as cracks, rust, or loose parts, which may affect the motor’s efficiency and longevity.
- Lubrication: If the manufacturer recommends it, lubricate the motor to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation.
7. Conclusion:
The Braemar TE 90 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is an integral part of the Braemar TE 90 heating system. If the motor is not functioning correctly, it will affect the performance of your heater by disrupting the airflow and preventing warm air from circulating effectively.
Replacing the motor with the correct PN. 076935 part will restore the performance of your heating system and ensure that it operates efficiently. If you're not confident in replacing the motor yourself, it's best to consult a licensed HVAC technician to ensure proper installation and avoid any safety risks.
