Carrier 38CKC048 Blower Wheel
The primary blower wheel is the squirrel cage attached to the blower motor that is spun around by a motor to produce an airflow throughout an entire home. It is also named a squirrel cage due to the clear likeness of an oversized hamster running wheel. No matter what you call it, it is definitely an important device that is essential for proper airflow.
General indicators that your blower wheel is not going to last much longer
- A thumping noise heard as the system ramps up
- If a part of the cage has been smashed and looks unbalanced when it spins
- You find less than normal air going through the ducts
