Friedrich VEA24K Blower Wheel
The primary blower wheel is the squirrel cage attached to the blower motor that is used in order to produce an airflow throughout an entire house. It is sometimes called a squirrel cage due to the understandable similarity of a hamster wheel. Regardless of what you call it, it is still a very necessary contraption that is needed for suitable airflow.
Important clues to watch for in a bad main blower wheel
- You observe a lot less than usual air going through the vents
- If any of the fins has been twisted and it spins lopsided
- Clanking sound heard when the system ramps up
