ICP X-13 ECM Motor Control for WAHT244A1 — 1/3 HP | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM X-13 ECM motor control (part 1185281) is the 1/3 HP constant-torque blower motor that drives airflow through your ICP WAHT244A1 air handler. The X-13 platform pairs an electronically commutated motor with an integrated control module that maintains a programmed torque as static pressure changes, delivering quieter, more efficient operation than a legacy PSC motor. When the motor or its module fails, you'll see reduced or absent airflow, a blower that won't start, intermittent cutouts, or grinding and humming noise. Installing the matched OEM unit restores the air handler's factory airflow performance.
