ICP Blower Motor for WFMR070A024B3 — 1/5 HP 3-Speed | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM blower motor (part number 1185007) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil model WFMR070A024B3 gas furnace. Rated at 1/5 HP with 3-speed operation, this motor drives the blower wheel that circulates conditioned air through the home in both heating and cooling. The control board selects the appropriate tap (low for heat, high for cool, etc.) to match the system's airflow requirements. A failed blower motor leaves the furnace heating its own heat exchanger with no air movement, which trips the high-limit switch and short-cycles the unit. Bearing wear, overheating, or a burned winding are typical end-of-life failures.
