Troubleshooting a Furnace Inducer Motor (The 4 Most Common Problems in 2021)

[@foxfamilyhvac]

Hey guys, today I wanted to expand on our recent gas furnace troubleshooting series. “The Easy Guide to Diagnosing a Bad Furnace Inducer Motor” will fill you in on what the inducer motor does, why it’s important, the most common of ways I’ve found inducer motors fail, and how to let the customer know what you’ve found.

Your videos are gold! Thank you & keep uploading more videos, please. Yes! I frequently find myself informing my customer that this repair "might happen in multiple stages" meaning that I cannot guarantee that there will not be other expenses, until after I install such-&-such part so that I can get the system up & running to evaluate it's over-all performance. If I have noticed that the customer is religious, I tell them to "pray that the bleeding stops with just the need for that part repair" that I just quoted them. & yes, there are people out there that tell me that they understand this, but after informing them that new information has come to light, & today's service repair requires additional costs....some people still come unglued. BUT, that's when I nicely remind them that THAT could be the case after getting the system up & running; that additional costs are needed for a repair that entails multiple stages. It's not fixed, unless you have resolved ALL issues....& that is what every customer expects from me as a tech. So I remind them of that. I have yet to have a customer say, "Don't fix all the issues. I don't want it fixed. I'll just pay you to fix one issue." A customer will be upset, but in the end, they really want a thorough tech that finds & resolves ALL issues, so that they are not paying for several diagnostics. I also point this out to customer's & explain to them by only paying 1 diagnostic, they are saving potentially hundreds of dollars. "Which is cheaper?....several diagnostics?.....or just one?" "I am saving you grief & headache by finding EVERY issue on today's service call." (You should be thanking me, rather than ranting on me!) Every tech out there knows what I'm talking about.

Thank you for this information! My American standard Gold (two stage) furnace (installed 5 years ago)has a Inducer motor making loud noises. The Repair (installer) has notified me the inducer motor is back ordered and unavailable for only god knows when. He will notify me when the item ships and will schedule the repair when he has the item. So far it’s taken a few months (so far). Waiting patiently but this is winter in New Hampshire and it has been very cold. Hoping the motor lasts through the rest of the winter! Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I’ve tested with my multimeter and have 120 volts at the harness that plugs into the motor housing, but it’s not running. What would cause my inducer not to come on? When I first turn the furnace power on, I can hear a slight humming, but sounds like the motor isn’t running. This is a Bryant furnace. Also got a status code of 4 fast flashes and 2 slow flashes from the board, when the dip switch was set to status code retrieval, which as far as I can tell points to the inducer.

[@Rob-pg7rb]

I replaced my inducer motor and blower wheel because of bearing noise. Got them separately on Amazon. Now I got a lot of orange flame. Flame looks like crap. It was nice and blue before. Also seems like the flames are not being pulled/stretch enough inside the exchanger because the flames are not a narrow as before. Maybe didn't adjust the fan blade on the motor shaft far enough out? Maybe the new cheap Amazon blower wheel sucks? I got a nanometer, but haven't checked the vacuum on the inducer yet. Not sure if the manual has a spec or not.

Hello Fox! My lennox furnace is inconsistently and sparatically not kicking on. I get pressure sensor errors which make me assume its the inducer because i already changed the sensor and the issue persists. I hear a little rattling type noises coming from what seems like the inducer.. but what is odd is sometimes it can run fine for days and then out of no where trigger over and over.. any advice? Thanks

[@foxfamilyhvac]

Check the back of the control board. If any of the solder connections are cracked (behind the plastic plug in to the board)trace those two wires to the inducer and check the solder connection on the back. My point is if those little Volcanos are cracked then the connections are intermittently not send the signal to the board. Not saying that's it, but good to check first. Make sure you unplug the furnace 😅

I have a Carrier high efficiency propane furnace. Flames at the burner were orangey and dancing a lot. Tech replaced primary & secondary HEX. Flames *still* orangey and dancing a lot! And now from time to time there is a little water apparently leaking out of the collector box. Tech now says to replace variable speed inducer for about $1K. It seems to spin fine, however. Should I believe him? Can an inducer cause problems EVEN IF it seems to have plenty of power and it doesn't make any weird noises? Most of the utube videos on inducers talk only about obvious problems like not spinning or too noisy or hot to the touch. Could my inducer be causing bad flames or leaking condensate even if it appears to be fine?

Furnace is shut off...inducer motor fault again, have tried the reset routine....well a lot more than 5 or 6 times! and no luck, any ideas? Thank you in advance!!!

[@deansherrick3998]

I have noticed that our TRANE XV90 inducer fan runs for a while after the furnace reaches the temperature that is on the thermostat. Sometimes for 15 minutes or more. When I shutdown the furnace; either by the master switch or the thermostat and then turn it back on, the inducer fan is quiet. This is not the main air flow fan directed into the house, but the smaller fan connected internally to the furnace - the inducer fan. This fan & its smaller squirrel cage appears to draw combustion air from the furnace and exhaust it out of the house via the PVC pipe installed. This fan is a PSC unit as it does not have a square variable speed unit - it is simply a cylindrical motor mounted to this small squirrel cage - I think it is a two-speed unit though. Any thoughts as to why this inducer motor would run on for so long after the furnace reaches the temperature set on the thermostat? Thanks in advance!

[@foxfamilyhvac]

15 minutes is a long time. If that is true though something could be sticking on the board. Is it the same amount of time every time?

[@deansherrick3998]

@@foxfamilyhvac Thanks for getting back to me. I am not sure as I usually turn it off via the thermostat and then back on. When I do this it does not come back on. If there is something "sticking on the board" as you list, I am concerned. Both operationally and financially.

[@RoxxPaperScissors]

Is it normal for an induced motor to be replaced 5yrs after installing new furnace?

[@marshallandroxy]

When the thermostat calls for heat, my unit works just fine. But when running a/c the induction fan just keeps cycling on and off, (but spinning slower than when running heat). Gas never turn on during the cycling and the igniter never glows. What do I need to check first? Thermostat voltage?

I was trying to order the base plate to which the inducer motor housing is secured. Since I couldn't figure out the name or part number of the product I was unable to order. It is the part from which the pressure switch orifice protrudes. Any help is appreciated.

[@The1JBanks]

I think you mean the flue box cover if it’s a package unit.

[@humancentered3447]

Think of it like this, would the manufacturer send out a furnace that breaks less than a year into service then have a garbage warranty that barely covers the part but none of the service which is specifically required by the warranty in order to qualify for the part? Yes. How about not making parts that you throw away and making parts that can actually be serviced.

[@emilywalker7756]

Please do a video explaining about the orifice that fits on the inducer motor assembly where the inducer motor goes to the condensate plate. On my furnace, there were no other symptoms except the darn limit switch kept tripping. When I go to replace the inducer motor, the new one came with two different size orifices that you are to clip in the opening upon installation. Well, I looked at the old inducer motor and there was NOTHING there. So I just assumed that these orifaces weren't needed. I finished installing the inducer motor without putting one of the extra orifices in it. Limit switch still tripping! I'm too frustrated to mess with it so I just have a space heater by the thermostat to keep the furnace from tripping. Im a very busy mom with three kids 9, 5, and 2. So getting back to the furnace took a few days. Tonight I went and looked to see what BTUH my furnace is and sure enough, it's a 60,000 BTUH and the smaller opening orifice is the one that I should have installed. So I take it off and put the correct size orifice in and put it back together. Praying it works, and it did! Now, someone tell me what happened to the old orifice??? There was no trace of it! It disappeared and I had no experience to know any better. I just thought it should look the same way the old one looked. Now I know! And hopefully I won't have anymore limit switch tripping for a while!!!

[@nicksterry357]

I would really recommend just changing the limit switch as well. I'm a technician and I know they just get weaker and weaker when they trip.

[@RC-Heli835]

I have an old 1980ish Rudd furnace hat doesn't have a circuit board. It only has relays. One 24V transformer for the thermostat circuit, one 110 volt relay for the Inducer motor and one relay for the blower motor. My inducer motor has quit getting 110 V from the relay. My blower comes on immediately the instant that the thermostat is set to call for heat. It does shut off once the thermostat is satisfied but will run indefinitely if the inducer motor has shut the gas off to the furnace before the thermostat is satisfied.

[@JesusSaves71185]

What if it works and drops out mid operation? You didn't even busy out the manometer yet?

[@multicammando]

Awesome video!!!!!!!

[@hellofriends8334]

Will the inducer motor run if the pressure switch is bad?

[@timcat1004]

Wrong right out of the gate. The main board will check that the pressure switch is in the correct position before engaging the inducer motor. Then it will check for the proper change in the switch position after to prove that both the inducer and switch are functioning together. Some boards will check the switch after one cycle and then lockout if it thinks it's stuck or by-passed. This prevents a by-pass or tampering being left in a permanent state.

[@jimbarron8688]

A lot of people fail to mention the self check of the pressure switch circuit as a step in the sequence. Also they fail to recognize that the heat safety circuit, limits, is under constant supervision. Lastly he mentions that the vent motor be checked for the correct voltage but neglects to mention that a good neutral is also essential.

So if the inducer motor is never kicking on, it could still be an issue with the pressure switch right? My manual indictes an issue with the pressure switch or venter. Hoping the pressure switch is bad or has some clogging nearby, but got a little confused since the inducer motor won't kick on at all. 25+ year old well-maintained Goodman.

[@gregmercil3968]

Correct, if the pressure switch is stuck closed before startup, the board will lock it out and give you a “pressure switch closed” error code and prevent the unit from starting. This is a safety feature in case average DIY homeowner attempts to bypass the pressure switch.

He said that since my furnace is 16yrs old, he told me to start thinking about another furnace rather than replacing the inducer. Is that the only sensible choice?

[@johnwilliamson4511]

Typically, heat exchanger(s) are the most expensive component to replace on a gas furnace. Blower or inducer motors are servicable parts and pretty economical in comparison to a new system. Replace the inducer motor now and start planning for a new system in future. Get minimum three quotes and try compare similar systems.

[@johnwilliamson4511]

Could be inducer motor bearings or blower wheel going bad. Typically not servicable and require inducer motor replacement. Does not mean need new gas furnace and requires total gas furnace replacement.

[@airborne350g]

Why does my HVAC burners shutdown during high winds from a certain direction? I think the winds are increasing the pressure in the vent pipe causing an error that is 6 short flashes then 1 long flash on the heartbeat light. If I shut the system off and then back on after a few seconds it will run fine, till the next high ends again.

I only grabbed the housing with light pressure and the u it became as quiet as a mouse again . Why did this happen to the unit ? It’s 5 years old . How did gravity make that housing rub ? It’s inside the furnace housing covered and very little dust after 5 years. Any way it’s all working fine again thank goodness. I gave myself a lesson on modern systems , bonus.

my funace quit altogether. the LED is showing no faults. i put 120 to inducer and it runs fine. get 24 volts from the thermostat. when i turn up the thermostat I can hear a 'click', what i assume is a relay for the inducer motor, but nothing happens. Furnace is one year old. Bad relay you think?

[@foxfamilyhvac]

If you're reading 120 leaving the board then bad motor, if not leaving the board from the inducer terminals then bad board. Check with an amp clamp too. Like you said when you jump it, it works so I'm thinking something upstream of the motor. If there are any safeties tripped. Ie pressure switch stuck open, open high limit, etc that could prevent voltage getting to inducer as well. Good luck! 😊

[@billd.8336]

Waiting 5 to 7 days to supply a new draft inducer will not work here in the north. It must be installed quickly or the plumbing will burst when the water freezes when the outside temp is 10 below. It's not IF but WHEN a draft inducer fails. A homeowner in the northern US should keep one on hand. Ebay has mine for about half the price that the furnace people charged me. I wish that I had never had a High-E furnace installed . We are on our second one; the first lasted only 10 years and the draft inducer on both funaces failed. The old-fashioned furnace lasted for 30 years and was still working when it was replaced. We have likely spent as much or more money for High-E furnace installation, parts and repairs than I would have spent for extra gas for the old furnace.

[@Satchmoeddie]

If it is a gas pack air conditioner / furnace combination unit, the refrigerant is under HIGH pressure, FLAMMABLE natural gas is under low pressure, and the gas burners can produce deadly combustion CO2 gas. There are also the aformentioned high AC voltages that can KILL YOU! I work on electrical equipment, tube guitar amps, audio processing, audio reproduction equipment, PA systems and radio equipment that uses voltages from fractions of a volt up to multiple tens of thousands of volts. The modern HVAC equipment will go through self diagnostic tests and it could try to start up without any notice, so if you are working on it while the electricty is on, keep that in mind! If you go in to change parts TURN THE POWER OFF AT THE BREAKER AND PULL THE DISCONNECT TOO! You cannot be too safe. I did lots of HVACR work, up until the EPA got into the business. I did all the air conditioning work for two taxi cab companies and several poperty management companies, around the Phoenix area. Taxis are required to have working AC. It kept me plenty busy, until I was required to have R12, R22, R134, and R410 recovery systems. F' that! The new R134A/R1234YF recovery unit is close to $10,000.
