Friedrich VHA12K Blower Wheel
A blower wheel is the squirrel cage attached to the blower motor that is spun around by a motor to produce an airflow throughout a dwelling. It is also referred to as a squirrel cage due to the resemblance of an oversized wheel a hamster might run on. Whatever you decide to call it, it is a very vital device of a heating and cooling system that needs proper air circulation.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my Friedrich blower wheel has to be replaced?
- Clanking sound is audible while the system ramps up
- If any one of the fins has been smashed and seems unbalanced when it turns
- You observe quite a bit less air going through the vents
