Carrier 38YDB048 Blower Wheel
The main blower wheel is finned and is used to provide forced air through all the ducts. It is also named a squirrel cage because of its resemblance of an oversized wheel a hamster might run on. Regardless of what you call it, it is a very vital device of an air handling system that calls for proper airflow.
Easy warnings of a defective blower wheel cage
- You may sense lower than normal air going through the vents
- If a part of the cage has been smashed and it wobbles when spinning
- A scraping sound heard as the HVAC system starts up
