Description

This is an BRAND NEW OEM Rheem/Ruud/Weather King/Corsaire Furnace Inducer Motor / Exhaust Motor.The Rheem/Ruud part # is 70-101087-81 (Also7021-11559 712111559C & 702111559) . Inducer motor is 115 volt and 3000 rpm. .Thanks for looking and good luck!
Function:
An inducer motor is designed to expel the exhaust gas from the furnace. Older inefficient furnaces allowed the flue gas to escape the unit with virtually no resistance. Newer high efficient furnace heat exchangers are so restrictive that the flue gases cannot exit the furnace though “natural draft”. Therefore, the inducer is required to pull the flue gases through the heat exchanger. The inducer motor is usually the first thing that starts up when your furnace calls for heat.

    Good replacement for Ruud Silhouette II Furnace

    Fits perfectly and runs very quietly compared to my original part. Little bit of an odor at the beginning but that seems to be gone now.

    Even though it looks like you should be able to replace the motor, I found that it is almost impossible to separate the blower wheel from the motor. Guess the set screw was effectively welded on. The replacement was perfect. Was worried when I kept reading weatherking on the description.

    5 min install.
