Whirlpool ATE1243BPP0 Blower Wheel
A blower wheel is commonly finned and is used as to produce a steady airflow through all the ductwork of a home. It is sometimes referred to as a squirrel cage due to the semblance to that of a hamster wheel. Whatever you decide to call it, it is a necessary part of an air handling system that calls for proper air circulation.
Major clues of a weakening blower wheel
- Grinding noise is audible as the HVAC system starts up
- If one of the fins has broken off and it does not spin correctly
- You discover quite a bit less air coming out of the vents
