Product Description
The Braemar TH 415 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is a vital component of the Braemar TH 415 gas ducted heating system. This motor powers the blower fan, circulating warm air throughout your ducted heating system to ensure consistent and efficient heating across your home.
1. Function of the Blower Fan Motor:
- The blower fan motor drives the fan that circulates warm air produced by the gas heater throughout the ducting system and into your home’s rooms.
- Operating at single speed, this motor provides constant airflow, ideal for systems where variable fan speed is not necessary.
- With a 315-watt power rating, the motor has enough strength to ensure adequate air circulation through the heating system, delivering consistent and reliable heating.
2. Key Features:
- Single-Speed Operation: The motor operates at a fixed speed, delivering consistent airflow throughout the system. This is suitable for systems where maintaining a steady airflow is essential, and there is no need for variable speed control.
- 315-Watt Power: The motor is rated at 315 watts, which provides sufficient power for circulating warm air through the entire ductwork, ensuring even heating in the rooms.
- Durability: Designed to last, this motor can withstand the prolonged use typical of heating systems, making it reliable even during heavy heating seasons.
3. Common Symptoms of a Faulty Blower Fan Motor:
- No Airflow: If the motor fails, the blower fan will not turn on, resulting in no air circulation and consequently no heat distributed to the rooms.
- Weak or Intermittent Airflow: A malfunctioning motor might result in weak or inconsistent airflow, leading to uneven heating throughout the home.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, squealing, or buzzing sounds from the motor could indicate that the motor's bearings are damaged or that there is an internal fault.
- Motor Overheating: A faulty motor may overheat, causing the system’s safety features to activate and shut down the unit to prevent further damage.
- Error Codes or Lockout: Some systems have diagnostic features that will display error codes or go into lockout mode if the blower fan motor is not functioning properly.
4. Replacement Considerations:
- Correct Part Number (PN. 076935): To ensure compatibility with your Braemar TH 415 system, it is essential to use the correct part number, PN. 076935.
- Motor Specifications: The replacement motor should have the same 315-watt power rating and single-speed operation to ensure consistent performance and proper functionality within your system.
- Professional Installation: Replacing the motor involves electrical components and may require mechanical expertise, so it’s advisable to have a licensed HVAC technician replace the motor to ensure safety and proper installation.
5. Installation Process:
- Turn Off Gas and Power: Before working on the heater, make sure both the gas and electrical power are turned off to avoid accidents.
- Access the Blower Motor: Open the cover or front panel of the heater to access the blower fan motor. This usually involves removing screws or clips that secure the panel.
- Disconnect the Old Motor: Disconnect the wiring from the old motor and remove the screws or fasteners that hold it in place.
- Install the New Motor: Secure the new 315-watt motor in place and connect the wiring according to the system’s wiring diagram.
- Test the System: After installing the motor, turn the system back on and test it to make sure the blower fan is working properly and air is circulating through the ducts.
6. Maintenance Tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Dust and debris can affect the efficiency of the blower fan motor and reduce airflow. Regular cleaning of the fan blades and motor can help maintain performance.
- Check for Wear: Periodically inspect the motor for any signs of wear, such as unusual noises or weak airflow, to catch potential issues before they cause more significant damage.
- Lubrication: Some blower motors may require lubrication for smooth operation. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the motor continues to run efficiently.
7. Conclusion:
The Braemar TH 415 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is crucial for the effective operation of the heating system. It ensures that warm air is properly circulated throughout the ductwork, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature. If the motor fails, the system will not be able to distribute heat properly, leading to ineffective heating.
Replacing it with the correct PN. 076935 motor will restore the performance of your Braemar TH 415 heating system.
