Carrier 48GX042060300 Blower Wheel
The primary blower wheel is the squirrel cage attached to the blower motor that is traditionally used to produce an airflow throughout all the ducts. You may also see it named a squirrel cage because of the striking semblance of a rather large hamster wheel. However you decide to name it, it is definitely an important piece of equipment of an air handling system that calls for a good amount of airflow.
Hints of a defective blower wheel assembly
- If any of the fins has been bent and looks unbalanced when it spins
- Clanking sound can be heard while the system ramps up
- You observe lower than normal air coming from the vents
