International Comfort Products HHP018GKA1 Blower Wheel
The primary blower wheel is like a squirrel cage that is attached to the main blower motor, which is spun around by a motor to provide forced air through an entire house. You may also see it named a squirrel cage because of its likeness to that of an oversized hamster exercise wheel. However you decide to name it, it is a necessary part of any HVAC system that needs suitable airflow.
Subtle cues of a failing blower wheel assembly
- You discover a lot less airflow overall
- A scraping sound is audible while system starts
- If a part of the cage has been smashed and it causes a lot of vibration
