International Comfort Products TXA242AKA1 Blower Wheel
The main blower wheel is the squirrel cage attached to the blower motor that is traditionally used to generate airflow throughout a home. Some people call it a squirrel cage due to the similarity of a large hamster wheel. Whatever name you use, it is definitely an important device of any system that needs proper air pressure within the ductwork.
Major indications that your blower wheel has very little life left
- Grinding sound heard while system starts
- You notice lower than normal air flow in the house
- If one of the fins has been smashed and it seems out of balance

Before you decide on buying or ordering do your best and cross-check the model number as well as make a visual inspection in order to be sure the proper replacement blower wheel is the one being purchased. If you are not sure about the installation of the blower wheel by yourself then it is probably best to find a professional in your area to do the work for you.
