Product Description
The Braemar TSS 320 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is an essential component for the Braemar TSS 320 gas ducted heating system. This motor drives the blower fan, circulating the warm air generated by the heater through the ductwork and into the living spaces of your home. Its reliable performance is crucial for maintaining consistent and comfortable heating throughout the colder months.
1. Function of the Blower Fan Motor:
- The blower fan motor powers the fan that circulates heated air throughout your home via the ducting system.
- Single-Speed Operation: The motor runs at a constant speed, providing reliable, steady airflow.
- 315-Watt Power Rating: With a 315-watt motor, it’s powerful enough to ensure efficient airflow, even in larger homes or ducting systems with a complex layout.
2. Key Features:
- Single-Speed Operation: This motor is designed for single-speed operation, providing a consistent airflow without the need for variable speed adjustments.
- 315-Watt Power: With a 315-watt rating, the motor is capable of generating enough power to move air through the duct system effectively, ensuring even distribution of warm air.
- Durable Design: The motor is built to last and is designed for consistent, long-term performance. It’s intended to provide reliable heating during the winter months, ensuring your home stays warm.
3. Common Symptoms of a Faulty Blower Fan Motor:
- No Airflow: If the motor fails, the fan will not circulate air, resulting in no warm air being distributed throughout your home.
- Weak or Inconsistent Airflow: A malfunctioning motor can cause weak airflow, leading to inconsistent heating and cold spots in your home.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds from the motor can indicate internal issues like worn bearings or damage to the motor components.
- Overheating: If the motor is failing, it may overheat, triggering the system’s safety mechanisms to shut down the unit to prevent further damage.
- System Lockout or Error Codes: Some systems have diagnostic capabilities that may display error codes or initiate a lockout mode if the motor is not functioning properly.
4. Replacement Considerations:
- Correct Part Number (PN. 076935): Ensure you are using the correct PN. 076935 replacement motor to ensure compatibility with your Braemar TSS 320 gas ducted heating system.
- Motor Specifications: The replacement motor should have the same 315-watt power rating and single-speed operation as the original motor to ensure proper functioning.
- Professional Installation: If you're not comfortable with working on HVAC or gas systems, it's recommended to hire a licensed HVAC technician for proper installation and to ensure the system is functioning safely and efficiently.
5. Installation Process:
- Turn Off Power and Gas: Before replacing the motor, ensure both the power and gas are turned off for safety.
- Access the Blower Motor: Remove the cover or panel of the Braemar TSS 320 heater to access the blower motor. You may need to unscrew or unfasten some parts to reach the motor.
- Disconnect the Old Motor: Carefully disconnect the wiring from the existing motor and remove the screws or fasteners holding it in place.
- Install the New Motor: Secure the new 315-watt motor in place and reconnect the wiring according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
- Test the System: After the installation is complete, turn the power and gas back on, and test the system to ensure the blower fan is working as expected and warm air is being distributed evenly.
6. Maintenance Tips:
- Regular Cleaning: To prevent dust and debris from accumulating, which could reduce airflow, regularly clean the blower fan and motor. Ensure there’s no obstruction in the ducting that could affect the airflow.
- Listen for Unusual Noises: Pay attention to any abnormal sounds like grinding or squeaking, which could signal that the motor or fan is malfunctioning.
- Inspect for Wear: If the airflow seems weak or inconsistent, inspect the motor for any signs of wear, damage, or overheating.
- Lubrication: If the manufacturer’s guidelines suggest lubrication, periodically lubricate the motor to reduce friction and keep it running smoothly.
7. Conclusion:
The Braemar TSS 320 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is a crucial component that ensures warm air is effectively circulated throughout your home, making your heating system functional and reliable. If the motor malfunctions, your system will fail to distribute warm air properly, reducing the effectiveness of your heater.
