ICP 1/2 HP X-13 Blower Motor for WPG4244060LKA1 - ECM | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM 1/2 HP X-13 blower motor (part #1186862) is the factory-original furnace blower for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WPG4244060LKA1. The X-13 is a constant-torque ECM (electronically commutated motor) that delivers higher efficiency and quieter operation than older PSC motors while holding a steady airflow against changing duct static. It drives the blower wheel that pushes conditioned air through the heat exchanger and out to the home on both heating and cooling calls. When a blower motor fails, you lose airflow entirely - or it short-cycles on the furnace high-limit because heat builds up with no air moving across the exchanger.

3. Document - Photograph the motor harness, module tap selection, and blower wheel position on the shaft.
4. Remove - Loosen the wheel set screw, separate the motor from the housing, and transfer the blower wheel.
5. Install - Mount the new motor, set the wheel to the same shaft depth, and reconnect the harness per your photo.
6. Test - Restore power and confirm smooth, quiet airflow on a heat and a fan call.
