If filter is installed in furnace blower compartment:
1. Turn off electrical supply to furnace.
2. Remove main furnace door and blower access panel.
3. Release filter retainer wire. (See Fig. 3 or 4.)
4. Slide filter out of furnace.
5. Furnaces are equipped with permanent, washable filter(s).
Clean filter by spraying cold tap water through filter in
opposite direction of airflow.
6. Rinse filter and let dry. Oiling or coating filter is not
recommended.
7. Slide filter into furnace.
8. Recapture filter retainer wire.
9. Replace blower access panel and main furnace door.
10. Turn on electrical supply to furnace.
Step 2—Blower Motor and Wheel Maintenance
To ensure long life, economy, and high efficiency, clean accumu-
lated dirt and grease from blower wheel and motor annually.
The inducer and blower motors are pre-lubricated and require no
additional lubrication. These motors can be identified by the
absence of oil ports on each end of the motor.
The following items should be performed by a qualified service
technician.
Clean blower motor and wheel as follows:
1. Turn off electrical supply to furnace.
2. Remove main furnace door and blower access panel.
3. Disconnect blower motor wires from furnace control.
Field thermostat connections may need to be disconnected
depending on their length and routing.
4. Remove control box mounting screws and position control
box, transformer, and door switch assembly to right side of
furnace casing.
5. If condensate trap is located in left- or right-hand side of
furnace casing, proceed to item 6, otherwise remove trap and
tubing as described below (See Fig. 8, top left):
a. Disconnect field drain connection from condensate trap.
b. Disconnect drain and relief port tubes from condensate
trap.
c. Remove condensate trap from blower shelf.
6. Remove screws securing blower assembly to blower shelf and
slide blower assembly out of furnace.
7. Clean blower wheel and motor by using a vacuum with soft
brush attachment. Be careful not to disturb balance weights
(clips) on blower wheel vanes. Do not bend wheel or blades as
balance will be affected.
8. If greasy residue is present on blower wheel, remove wheel
from the blower housing and wash it with an appropriate
degreaser. To remove wheel:
a. Mark blower wheel location on shaft before disassembly to
ensure proper reassembly.
b. Loosen setscrew holding blower wheel on motor shaft.
NOTE: Mark blower mounting arms and blower housing so each
arm is positioned at the same hole location during reassembly.
c. Mark blower wheel orientation and cutoff plate location to
ensure proper reassembly.
d. Remove screws securing cutoff plate and remove cutoff
plate from housing.
e. Remove bolts holding motor mounts to blower housing and
slide motor and mounts out of housing. Disconnect capcitor
and ground wire attached to blower housing before remov-
ing motor. Motor mounts need not be removed from motor.
f. Remove blower wheel from housing.
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in noise or furnace
component failure.
The blower wheel should not be dropped or bent as balance
will be affected.
g. Clean wheel per instructions on degreaser cleaner. Do not
get degreaser in the motor.
9. Reassemble motor and blower wheel by reversing items 8b
through 8f. Ensure wheel is positioned for proper rotation.
Tighten set-screw to 140-160 in.-lb torque.
10. Reinstall blower assembly in furnace.
11. Reinstall control box, transformer, and door switch assembly
on blower shelf.
12. Reinstall condensate trap and tubing if previously removed.
a. Reinstall condensate trap in hole in blower shelf.
b. Connect condensate trap drain tubes. See Fig. 8 or tubing
diagram on main furnace door for proper tube location.
NOTE: Ensure tubes are not kinked or pinched, as this will affect
operation.
(1.) Connect 1 tube (blue or blue and white striped) from
collector box.
(2.) Connect 1 tube (violet or unmarked) from inducer
housing.
(3.) Connect 1 tube (relief port, green or pink) from
collector box.
c. Connect field drain to condensate trap.
13. Reconnect wires.
Refer to furnace wiring diagram, and connect thermostat leads
if previously disconnected. (See Fig. 15.)
NOTE: Refer to Table 1 for motor speed lead reconnection if
leads were not identified before disconnection.
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to adjust the heating speed may shorten heat ex-
changer life.
Heating speed selection MUST be adjusted to provide proper
temperature rise as specified on the rating plate. Failure to
adjust the heating speed may shorten heat exchanger life.
