Carrier 318984-753 Motor

My old draft inducer motor started making a horrible noise which was a sign of a bad bearing. So, I ordered this as a replacement for my Bryant 80 plus furnace. First thing I noticed was that it didn't appear to be a " Genuine OEM replacement part" as claimed in the description, but from a company that makes a whole slew of furnace motors. This was the only reason for minus a star.When removing the old one, I would highly recommend to pick up a new gasket set and also a new blower motor wheel. The old wheel on the old motor was completely seized on to the shaft. Since the metal is so thin, it was easily damaged when trying to pry off. I ended up cutting it off with an angle grinder. So, it was easier to just get an additional wheel with this. The old gaskets were also toast. The main gasket is some sort of fiberglass mix, and there are some rubber isolation gaskets. Also recommend getting new gaskets when replacing.Also included with this was another front facing indicator wheel that lets you know and see the spinning of the motor. There were also some wires that I didn't end up needing since it was basically plug and play with the additional wiring.Installation was pretty straight forward. 1/8" and 1/4" hex were the only socket sizes I needed for install (and angle grinder of course to cut off old one). Once installed, it was very quiet and worked as good as new. It was sure nice to get heat again as my furnace always picks the best time to have problems.

My furnace model: Carrier 58PAV045-12, installed in the year 2001.The instructions say to use old screws, but they were too small of diameter for the threaded see-through holes in the new motor. In addition, the four holes have two different diameters (holes diagonal from each other are different). So instead of finding the exact screws, I got 3-inch screws and nuts to bolt down the motor to the plate.The solution was to buy two #8-32 x 3 in. Phillips-Slotted Round-Head Machine Screws and corresponding nuts and washers (and spring washers if you want a more secure mount) from a local hardware store. These screws fit snuggly through the holes with the help of a screwdriver. Place the bulkier nut and spring washer on the plate side. Place the lower profile washer and screw head on the motor to allow for the smaller clearance of black plastic fan.Well, that is what worked for my particular furnace and motor. I hope it's helpful to others with the same problem.

Motor was OEM Jackel, but package did not include cooling fan and wires. Fan was needed, so I had to run to local distributor to pick it up for an addition $12. This seems to be a stock photo. Would have been nice to know since my motor was going out by running with no fan and it was 10F outside. Seller should change photo or standardize what it ships as I’ve read that some buyer received units with fan, others not. 5 stars for quality, 2 star for value as I didn’t receive what was shown, 3 star overall.

I had to fix a force air furnace unit. Again. Last time I had to call a dude, cost $600 to fix. If you have tenants w/o heat, however, you have no choice. This time, I bought myself a little time with some space heaters, got the part,and fixed it myself. It was not that hard. The error code was something, like 42 or something, I forget, a bunch of red flashes, and bad inducer motor was one of the possibilities. I just figured its the main moving part, so its probably it, and I lucked out. This was the problem, I replaced it, and all was well. Online step-by-step guides are available, and they suggested getting a new wheel, which I did, also from Amazon. Turned out the old one was fine, but oh well, now I have a spare. My tenants immediately cranked their heat back up way too high (they pay their own gas) and have been running this thing mercilessly since I installed it (which is why the last one failed, no doubt) and it has run well.It would have been nice to have prime available for this, since people usually break heaters when it is cold and then want it fixed right away. If I was rich I would buy another one to have it ready when the next unit breaks, but I have adapted "Just in Time" manufacturing principles to my own life (often with mixed results), and will wait for one to fail instead. Good buy.

This part fixed my noisy old draft inducer motor!Managed to salvage the squirrel cage by using rust penetrating spray and letting it sit for 15 minutes. The gasket needed to be replaced, kept the new one in place while installing by using a little bit of glue.My only complaint is it didn't come with motor screws and the old motor screws where too small. Luckily I live close to a hardware store.There was also I bit of noise but I found out it was just excess vibration from overtightened top screws and undertightened bottom screw. You can tell if the noise stops when you push down on the motor while it's spinning.Overall I would recommend! Saved me a lot of money and was simple to replace.
