I have never seen that style of inducer before. When a manufacturer designs a blower they buy motors by the crate. Typically the motor carries a private part number so that a replacement isn't easy to be found. When the motors are gone a new company is found and the part gets renumbered. When trying to find a replacement inducer you usually use the full furnace model number and that will lead you to a substitute part..... the entire inducer assembly... not a motor.
Hi, I have an old SnyderGeneral GUF gas furnace. Recently, it failed such that the blower was not running but would start if I spun it by hand. I replaced the motor capacitor and all was fine for a few days. Now it is again struggling to start. It usually does, but very slowly. I measured the capacitor voltage once running and it was a little over 300V. Is this normal or should this unit have a centrifugal switch that disconnects the capacitor once it is running? If it has a switch, is it possible to repair or replace it? Any other suggestions? Thanks for any help!
The min/max dimensions for the solid working platform around and beneath the HVAC equipment located in the attic is well defined, but I am experiencing difficulty locating information regarding the material type and thickness (e.g. OSB, Plywood, ½”, ¾”, etc). Would someone please provide me this information as it would apply to the California Residential Building Code.
