Product Description
The Braemar TSS 420 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is an important component of the Braemar TSS 420 gas ducted heating system. This motor drives the blower fan, which circulates the warm air produced by the gas heater throughout the ductwork, ensuring that the heated air reaches all areas of your home. It helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature by providing consistent airflow.
1. Function of the Blower Fan Motor:
- The blower fan motor powers the fan that circulates warm air from the Braemar TSS 420 heater through your ducting system and into your home.
- This motor operates at a single speed, providing a consistent and steady airflow without the need for adjustments.
- With a 315-watt power rating, the motor has sufficient power to distribute air efficiently, even in larger homes or complex duct systems.
2. Key Features:
- Single-Speed Operation: This motor runs at a constant speed, ensuring uniform airflow and consistent heating.
- 315-Watt Power Rating: The motor’s 315-watt rating ensures it can effectively push air through the ducts and maintain an even temperature in your home.
- Durability: Built to withstand continuous use, the motor is designed to operate for long periods, providing reliable performance over the heating season.
3. Common Symptoms of a Faulty Blower Fan Motor:
- No Airflow: If the motor stops working, the blower fan will not circulate air, and the heater will not function as intended.
- Weak or Intermittent Airflow: A failing motor might cause weak or irregular airflow, leading to uneven heating and cold spots in your home.
- Unusual Noises: If you hear grinding, rattling, or squealing sounds, it could indicate that the motor is wearing out or has internal damage.
- Overheating: A faulty motor can overheat and may trigger the system's safety features to shut the heater down.
- Error Codes or Lockouts: Some systems will display error codes or enter a lockout mode if the motor is malfunctioning or if the system detects a fault in the motor.
4. Replacement Considerations:
- Correct Part Number (PN. 076935): Ensure that the replacement motor has the correct PN. 076935 part number to ensure compatibility with your Braemar TSS 420 heater.
- Motor Specifications: The replacement motor should match the 315-watt power rating and single-speed functionality of the original motor for proper performance.
- Professional Installation: If you're unfamiliar with gas and electrical systems, it’s recommended to hire a licensed HVAC technician for installation to ensure safety and correct setup.
5. Installation Process:
- Turn Off Power and Gas: Before replacing the motor, ensure that both gas and power are turned off to avoid any accidents.
- Access the Blower Motor: Open the access panel of the Braemar TSS 420 heater to gain access to the blower fan motor. This may involve removing screws or clips to remove the cover.
- Disconnect the Old Motor: Carefully disconnect the wiring from the old motor and remove the screws or fasteners that hold it in place.
- Install the New Motor: Mount the new 315-watt motor in place and secure it. Reconnect the wiring as per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Test the System: After installing the new motor, restore power and gas to the system, then test the heater to ensure that the blower fan is working properly and distributing warm air.
6. Maintenance Tips:
- Regular Cleaning: To keep the motor running efficiently, clean the blower fan and surrounding areas regularly. Dust and debris can accumulate and affect airflow.
- Monitor for Unusual Noises: Listen for any unusual sounds that may indicate wear on the motor, such as grinding or squealing, which could signal that the motor needs servicing.
- Inspect for Wear: Check for any signs of motor wear, such as overheating, weak airflow, or malfunctioning blower operation.
- Lubrication: If the manufacturer recommends it, lubricate the motor periodically to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation.
7. Conclusion:
The Braemar TSS 420 Gas Ducted Heater Blower Fan Motor Single Speed 315 Watt PN. 076935 is crucial for maintaining efficient airflow and ensuring that your heater operates properly. If the motor fails, the heater will not function effectively, leading to insufficient heating in your home.
