The Packard 66756 is a direct-replacement draft inducer blower motor engineered to fit specific Carrier and ICP furnace models. It delivers a reliable 3300 RPM at 115V using a 58-watt PSC motor design, and ships complete with the run capacitor and a 3-prong Molex plug -- so you can swap it in without hunting down extra parts. Ball bearing construction and Class B insulation ensure long service life in the demanding heat-exchanger environment of a residential or light-commercial furnace.
Draft inducer motors are critical to furnace operation. They establish negative pressure in the heat exchanger before ignition, purge combustion gases after each cycle, and protect against dangerous flue-gas spillage. When an inducer motor fails -- common symptoms include grinding bearings, failure-to-start, or a furnace that locks out on a pressure-switch fault -- this Packard unit restores original performance without modifying the flue or wiring harness.
The 66756 is purpose-built to replace the OEM Carrier and ICP motors listed below. The included run capacitor is matched to the motor's specifications, and the 3-prong Molex connector plugs directly into the original furnace wiring harness. The 1.75-inch diameter inlet flange aligns with the existing housing -- no adapter rings required on compatible models.
Permanent split capacitor motor runs at a single, stable 3300 RPM speed with the matched capacitor included in the box.
Ball bearings handle the sustained high-speed rotation and thermal cycling of a furnace inducer application better than sleeve bearings.
Built-in thermal overload protects the motor windings from burnout if airflow is restricted or the motor is asked to run outside its design conditions.
Includes the run capacitor and 3-prong Molex plug. No sourcing separate components before the job can start.
Many aftermarket inducer motors are sold without the run capacitor, requiring a second order and delaying the repair. The Packard 66756 ships with the correctly rated capacitor already matched to the motor -- open the box and install.
This motor is a verified replacement for the following OEM and aftermarket part numbers:
Always confirm the part number on the original motor label before ordering. Carrier uses multiple inducer motor specifications across its furnace lineup; verify your model number against the cross-reference above.
The motor inlet diameter is 1.75 inches. Confirm this matches the existing housing on your unit. On most compatible Carrier 58-series furnaces this is a direct bolt-in fit, but measuring the original motor before removal eliminates doubt.
This is a single-speed motor. It is not compatible with variable-speed or multi-speed inducer assemblies. Confirm your original motor is also single-speed before ordering.
