- See how I replaced my Carrier inducer motor (and fan, wheel, and gasket) for only $110. Although I did have to hacksaw through the inducer motor axle on one side to be able to reuse the mounting hardware, the rest of the job was very straightforward. Thanks to my son for taking pictures and helping with the job.
dude this vid is PERFECT ! right to the point and precisely spoken ! great job & thanx !
Thank you for the paint opener tip to remove the clip
Thanks!! Not my model but close enough and i like the glue trick
Thanks for making this video. Just replaced mine. Big help.
Thanks. Unfortunately mine went out a few days ago. So we are in a cold house until the motor comes in from Amazon. I may just see if I can get the part locally. But your video is great. Thank you.
Right on thanks for this video, I have the exact model and the inducer is starting to get loud when starting. I'll try to get all the parts before it fails.
The blower wheel is indeed a fan.
I have same model STA090 and it started having rattling sound and shaking the attick. Got it replaced back in 2017 , so about 7 years . Is that normal life span of these motors?
If I was to do the repair, I think I would use Permatex on the gasket. This is a product made for gaskets.
Hi Mark. I have the same unit, and on mine the fan has gotten loose.. SO the metal rod with the clamp in the middle of the fan spins independently and the fan sort of stays in one place. Any idea on how to tighten that clamp so the fan and rod spin together?
It sounds like the inset screw (see 4 min 49 sec into the video) is loose. Try tightening it with an Allen wrench.
@Mark Rajcok thank you for replying. To clarify, the metal fan inside the housing is spinning. It's the black circular fan shaped part in the front of the furnace that is loose and doesn't spin with the fan.
@@michaellong1567 It sounds like the middle of the black plastic fan might be cracked. Take the spring clip off and examine the middle hole. If it is cracked or it looks like the hole expanded to be larger than the rod, then you'll probably need a new one.
Why not just take the motor apart and add some oil to the wick-pads outside the bearing? Too many perfectly good motors are discarded when they are still perfectly good and just need a bit of bearing oil.
Good comment. Are you a heating & air guy? Sounds like you have some experience with this. Do you need to pull the motor out and take it apart to get at the wick-pads?
@@bobjohnson5218 I'm just a DIY'er who has rescued many motors and saved some money along the way. Some of these inducer motors have oiling holes on the sides which won't be obvious to the untrained eye (my Fasco motor is such a case), Try browsing these videos:
