Carrier 38AK Blower Wheel
The main blower wheel is attached to the blower motor and is used to generate airflow throughout all the ducts. Once in a while it is also called a squirrel cage because of the striking similarity of a very large wheel a hamster would run on. Regardless of what you call it, it is still a crucial device of an air handling system that calls for suitable airflow.
Indications that your blower wheel will die soon
- A rattling sound can be heard as the motor ramps up
- Much less airflow through the ducts
- If a little piece of a fin has been smashed and it wobbles when spinning
