ICP Blower Motor for WFMR045A024B3 — 1/5 HP 3-Speed | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM direct-drive blower motor (part number 1185007) turns the indoor blower wheel that moves conditioned air through your ductwork. Rated at 1/5 HP with 3 speeds, it provides the airflow tap selection the furnace uses for heating, cooling, and continuous-fan modes. When a blower motor fails you lose airflow entirely or it runs weakly: rooms stop heating and cooling evenly, the furnace can overheat and trip its high-limit, and you may hear bearing noise or smell hot windings. A motor that hums but won't start, runs hot, or trips on its internal overload is at end of life.
