A direct-replacement draft inducer motor engineered to match original equipment specs for Fasco and ICP furnace applications. Rated 230V, 1/25 HP, and 3060 RPM, this shaded-pole motor ships with 13-inch leads and spade terminals -- ready to install without modification on a wide range of gas furnaces.
The draft inducer motor is one of the hardest-working components in a forced-air furnace. It pulls combustion gases through the heat exchanger and exhausts them safely before the main burner fires. When the original motor fails -- or begins running slowly, noisily, or intermittently -- a precise replacement is critical for both furnace operation and safe flue gas evacuation.
The Fasco A169 (also sold as NBK Parts 12175) is a factory-spec shaded-pole motor built to match the original performance envelope of the units it replaces. At 230 volts and 3060 RPM, it restores proper draft pressure and ignition sequencing without requiring wiring changes or adapter brackets.
Rated 230V, 60 Hz, single-phase -- matching original ICP and Fasco inducer motor specifications with no rewiring required.
Integrated thermal overload protector shuts the motor down if it overheats, protecting the furnace control board and heat exchanger.
13-inch wire leads with spade terminals make connection straightforward during a direct swap -- no splicing or terminal crimping needed in most installations.
Dual safety certifications confirm the motor meets North American electrical safety standards for HVAC and furnace applications.
This motor is a confirmed direct replacement for the following OEM and aftermarket part numbers. Verify your existing motor's part number before ordering.
The A169 uses a shaded-pole induction design -- the standard choice for HVAC draft inducer applications because it requires no brushes, capacitors, or start relays. The sleeve bearing construction is appropriate for the duty cycle and mounting orientation typical of residential gas furnace inducers.
Class B insulation provides a thermal rating of 130 deg C winding temperature, giving adequate headroom above the 40 deg C (104 deg F) maximum ambient rating. The compact 3.3-inch frame diameter fits the original inducer housing without modification.
