Measuring \u003cstrong\u003e9 x 6 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e, this balanced wheel moves conditioned air through the heat exchanger and duct system, and a warped, cracked, or debris-loaded wheel is a leading cause of weak airflow, whistling, and high-limit trips.

If you are not comfortable pulling the blower deck, have a licensed HVAC technician install it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goodman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63058190827891,"sku":"GOODMAN-13185","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/nationalhvacparts.com\/products\/oem-goodman-9x6-blower-wheel-for-gup040-2-b1368042s","provider":"National HVAC Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
