Whirlpool ATE1242CPP0 Blower Wheel
The blower wheel is like a squirrel cage that is attached to the main blower motor, which is used to provide forced air through a house. You may also see it named a squirrel cage because of the obvious likeness to that of an oversized hamster exercise wheel. Regardless of what you call it, it is a necessary piece of equipment of any HVAC system that needs a good amount of airflow.
Hints blower wheel assembly will need replacing
- Grinding sound is heard as the HVAC begins
- You see a lot less air coming from the blower
- If one of the fins has been malformed and it seems out of balance
