Induced Draft Blower Motor Runs Constantly
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2007 3:28 pm
Well my Induced Draft Blower Motor is running constantly.
I gotta Direct Vent Forced Air System model number DGAT070BDC.
I took a quick look at the schematics I am getting that the Centrifugal switch is within the Induced Draft Blower Motor "housing".
My blue wire runs from "TH" on the Ignition Module, through the Centrifugal switch, then to a limit switch and so forth.
The unit still operates fine, other than the Induced Draft Blower motor running constantly.
If I push the switch that powers the unit, that feeds the transformer, and let the Induced Draft Blower Motor stop spinning, then push the main swith back on, the Induced Draft Blower Motor usually stays off. 95% of the time.
If the centrifugal swtich is within the Induced Draft Blower Moter housing, Im guessing I would need a Induced Draft Blower Motor. Or I could take it apart and repair it, seeing as how I have a degree in electronics engineering. So would it be repairable, or would it be wise to just get another motor?
Can the switch be purchased seperately?
However, since I haven't done any tests, I cant say that it is the centrifugal switch for sure.
Thanks.
