Whirlpool ATE1545BPP0 Blower Wheel
The main blower wheel is the squirrel cage attached to the blower motor that is spun around by a motor to produce an airflow throughout an entire home. It is also called a squirrel cage due to the slight alikeness of a rather large hamster wheel. However you decide to name it, it is still a crucial piece of equipment of a heating and cooling system that needs a good amount of airflow.
Cues of a defective blower wheel
- A scraping sound is heard as the HVAC system starts up
- If a part of the cage has been bent and it does not spin correctly
- You discover much less airflow coming out of the system
