Lennox XC21 Blower Wheel
The blower wheel is the squirrel cage attached to the blower motor that is spun around by a motor to produce a steady airflow through an entire house. It can also be referred to as a squirrel cage due to the slight likeness of an oversized hamster running wheel. Regardless of what you call it, it is still a very necessary piece of equipment of an air handling system that calls for proper airflow.
Key signs of a bad blower wheel assembly
- A thumping noise can be heard while the system ramps up
- If one of the fins has been dented and looks unbalanced when it spins
- You find quite a bit less air coming from the blower
