Product Description
The Braemar TQS 623 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is a key component in the Braemar TQS 623 gas ducted heating system. This motor is responsible for driving the blower fan, which circulates the warm air produced by the heater throughout the ducts and into your living spaces, ensuring efficient heating and comfort.
Key Features and Details:
-
Function of the Blower Fan Motor:
- The 315-watt motor powers the blower fan, which moves the heated air generated by the Braemar TQS 623 gas ducted heater into the duct system and throughout your home.
- Single-Speed Operation: The motor operates at a fixed speed, ensuring consistent airflow throughout the system. This steady airflow helps maintain a uniform temperature across all heated spaces.
- The blower motor is essential for ensuring that the heater performs efficiently, providing the desired indoor warmth.
-
Motor Specifications:
- Power Rating: The motor provides a 315-watt output, which ensures enough power to drive the blower fan and circulate air throughout the heating system.
- Single-Speed: This motor runs at a single speed, meaning it delivers consistent airflow, which is ideal for steady heating without fluctuations in the speed of airflow.
- Durability: Designed for long-term, reliable operation, this motor is built to handle the continuous use of a ducted heating system, providing consistent airflow over time.
-
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Blower Fan Motor:
- No Airflow: If the blower motor fails completely, the fan will not work, meaning no air will be circulated, and you won't get any warm air from the system.
- Weak or Uneven Airflow: A malfunctioning motor may result in weak airflow, causing some areas of your home to remain cold while others are properly heated.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, rattling, or squeaking noises may be indicative of motor problems, such as worn bearings or misalignment in the blower fan.
- Overheating: The motor may overheat if it has a fault, and this can trigger an automatic shut-off to prevent damage. Overheating can occur due to issues such as excessive friction, worn-out parts, or electrical problems.
- Error Codes: Some modern systems may display an error code if the blower motor is malfunctioning. This can help pinpoint the issue for troubleshooting.
-
Replacement Considerations:
- Correct Part Number (PN. 076935): When replacing the blower motor, it is essential to use the correct part number (PN. 076935) to ensure compatibility with the Braemar TQS 623 heating system.
- Motor Specifications: Ensure that the replacement motor matches the 315-watt power rating and single-speed operation of the original motor to maintain the system's performance.
- Professional Installation: Replacing a blower motor can be challenging, so it is recommended to have the motor replaced by a qualified HVAC technician. Proper installation ensures the motor operates correctly and prevents any damage to the system.
-
Installation Process:
- Turn Off Power and Gas: Before performing any repairs or replacements, make sure to turn off both the electrical power and gas supply to the heating system to ensure safety during the replacement.
- Access the Motor: Remove the access panel and any other components needed to access the blower motor. This may require removing screws or fasteners to open the system.
- Disconnect the Old Motor: Carefully disconnect the electrical wiring and any other attachments to the old motor. Remove any fasteners that secure the motor in place.
- Install the New Motor: Position the replacement motor (PN. 076935) into place and secure it with the appropriate fasteners. Reconnect the wiring according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Test the System: After installation, restore the power and gas supply, and test the system to ensure that the blower motor is working correctly and the airflow is even and strong.
-
Maintenance Tips:
- Cleaning: Keep the motor and fan blades clean from dust and debris to ensure proper operation. Regular cleaning helps prevent motor overheating and maintains efficiency.
- Lubrication: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for lubricating the motor if needed. Lubrication reduces friction and helps prevent premature wear and tear.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the motor and fan for any signs of wear, such as rust or corrosion, and replace damaged components as needed.
- Listen for Noises: Pay attention to any unusual noises such as grinding, squeaking, or rattling sounds, as these may indicate motor problems that need to be addressed.
