Draft Inducer Blower Motor

This draft inducer blower motor moves combustion gases through the heat exchanger, cross-referencing J238-112-11202, JAKEL HC21ZE122A, and 326634-401.

Overview

This draft inducer blower motor pulls exhaust gases through the furnace heat exchanger and out the flue during each heating cycle. The blower motor mounts in the inducer housing and spins the wheel that maintains proper draft for safe combustion. It suits HVAC technicians and homeowners replacing a noisy or seized inducer motor on compatible equipment.

Good To Know

Q: How do I confirm this inducer motor fits my furnace? A: Match the part numbers on your existing motor or furnace data plate against J238-112-11202, JAKEL HC21ZE122A, and 326634-401. Model and serial number checks with your equipment documentation are the safest confirmation.

Q: Should the inducer wheel be replaced with the motor? A: Inspect the wheel for cracks, buildup, or imbalance whenever you swap the motor, since a damaged wheel can cause noise and shorten motor life. Reuse the wheel only if it is clean and undamaged.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
