ICP 1/3 HP Blower Motor for WFEL070B036A1 — OEM Furnace Fan Motor | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM 1/3 HP blower motor (part 1187057) drives the indoor air-handling blower on the ICP Tempstar/Heil WFEL070B036A1 gas furnace. The blower motor moves conditioned air across the heat exchanger and through the duct system on every heating and cooling cycle, making it one of the hardest-working components in the furnace. As bearings wear or windings degrade, the motor runs hot, draws excess amperage, gets noisy, and eventually trips on its internal thermal overload — leaving the system with weak or no airflow. This direct-fit OEM motor restores rated CFM and quiet operation.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP Tempstar/Heil WFEL070B036A1 furnace and shared ICP-family blower assemblies using the 1187057 motor. Confirm horsepower, voltage, and rotation against your existing motor before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the switch and breaker; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the blower-compartment panel and slide out the blower assembly.
3. Document — Photograph all motor leads, capacitor wiring, and blower-wheel position on the shaft.
4. Remove — Loosen the wheel set screw, pull the wheel, unbolt the old motor from the mount, and transfer the mounting band.
5. Install — Mount the new 1187057 motor, reinstall the blower wheel at the same shaft depth, reconnect leads and run capacitor per your photos, and reinstall the assembly.
6. Test — Restore power, run heat and fan modes, and confirm smooth, quiet airflow with normal amp draw.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Loud humming, grinding, or squealing from the blower.
• Weak airflow or blower won't start (hums then trips).
• Motor overheats and shuts off on thermal overload mid-cycle.
• High amp draw or a burnt-electrical smell at the air handler.
