Carrier 50JX-042 Blower Wheel
The blower wheel usually has fins all around it and it is used to produce an airflow throughout an entire home. You may also see it named a squirrel cage due to the understandable alikeness of a rather large hamster wheel. Whatever you decide to call it, it is definitely an important piece of equipment of an air handling system that calls for proper airflow.
Important signs that the main blower wheel is dying
- A scraping sound is heard when the system starts
- If a little piece of a fin has been damaged and it spins lopsided
- You may sense lower than normal airflow coming out of the system
