Carrier 50XL-A24 Blower Wheel
A blower wheel is like a squirrel cage that is attached to the main blower motor, which is used as to provide forced air through all the ducts. It can also be called a squirrel cage due to the slight similarity to that of a pet hamster wheel. However you decide to name it, it is still a very necessary part of a heating and cooling system that needs proper airflow.
Subtle cues of a dying blower wheel
- If a part of the cage has been dented and it seems out of balance
- You discover less than usual air going through the vents
- A scraping sound is audible as the blower starts
