The Fasco A164 is a direct-replacement draft inducer blower motor engineered to restore proper combustion air flow in Lennox and Fasco furnaces. Rated at 115V, 3000 RPM, and 0.34 amps, this shaded-pole motor ships ready to install with a 6-inch lead and socket terminal connector. Built-in thermal overload protection and Class B insulation make it a reliable long-term replacement for a wide range of OEM part numbers.
A failed or sluggish draft inducer motor is one of the most common causes of furnace lockout codes and ignition failures. The A164 replaces the factory motor on numerous Lennox and Fasco 7021-series models without modification -- same 3.3-inch frame diameter, same socket terminal wiring, same mounting footprint.
This is a shaded-pole, single-phase induction motor with sleeve bearings, designed for the continuous-duty, high-temperature environment of a forced-combustion furnace inducer assembly. It carries both UL and CSA listings, meeting North American safety standards for furnace components.
Drops in for 20+ Fasco, Lennox, and Emerson part numbers with no wiring adapters or bracket modifications required.
Integrated thermal overload protector shuts the motor down before damage occurs if airflow is restricted or ambient temps spike.
Rated for continuous operation up to 104 deg F (40 deg C) ambient, appropriate for furnace cabinet environments.
Meets North American electrical safety certification requirements for residential and light-commercial HVAC applications.
The A164 ships with 6-inch leads terminated in a socket-style connector that mates directly with the OEM wiring harness on the Lennox and Fasco furnace models listed below. No splicing or crimping is required for a standard swap. Verify lead length and connector type against your existing harness before installation if your furnace has been previously serviced with a non-OEM replacement.
