13. Blower Motor

IMPORTANT
Each blower is statically and dynamically bal­
anced as an assembly before installation in the
unit.
EL180UHNE units are equipped with a constant torque
ECM motor. It has a DC motor coupled to an electronic con­
trol module both contained in the same motor housing. The
motor is programmed to provide constant torque at each of
the five selectable speed taps. Each tap requires 24 volts to
energize.
Input Voltage Requirements
The circuit is designed to be operated with AC voltage. To
enable a tap requires 12 to 33VAC. Expected current draw
will be less than 20mA.

Troubleshooting the Motor

Troubleshooting the motor is an easy process. Follow
steps below.
1- Shut off power to unit.
2- Remove input plugs P48 and P49 from motor. See
figure 12 for troubleshooting procedure.
If correct voltage is present in tests 1 and 2 and motor is not
operating properly, replace motor. The motor is not field re­
pairable.
If replacing the indoor blower motor or blower wheel is nec­
essary, placement is critical. The blower wheel must be cen­
tered in the blower housing as shown in figure 10. When re­
placing the indoor blower motor the set screw must be
aligned and tightened with the motor shaft as shown in figure
11.
