Fasco A081 Motor
The Fasco A081 Motor is a high-performance direct OEM replacement for specialized draft inducer units, specifically engineered for Magic Chef and HWC series applications. Operating at 230V, this 1-speed shaded pole motor delivers a consistent 3000-3100 RPM to maintain critical 80 CFM airflow for safe combustion venting. Designed with a 3.3-inch diameter and reaching a power output of 1/40 HP, this motor features a CCW rotation (shaft end) and durable ball bearings for extended service life in high-heat environments. As a veteran-grade HVAC draft inducer motor, it is thermally protected (Class B insulation) and typically draws between 0.45 and 0.5 amps. Its open ventilation structure ensures efficient cooling during heavy-duty cycles in gas furnaces and boilers. This unit serves as a verified cross-reference for the Packard 80280, Armstrong 322P859, and Grainger 45KC34. Reliable exhaust venting is essential for system safety, making the Fasco A081 a staple for professional technicians performing precise furnace draft inducer repairs.
Key Benefits- Direct Compatibility: Engineered as an exact functional match for Magic Chef/HWC series (model 70216564), reducing installation time for field contractors.
- Industrial Durability: Features high-grade ball bearings and thermal overload protection to handle the rigorous demands of combustion exhaust.
- Reliable Venting Performance: Delivers a consistent 80 CFM at 3100 RPM to ensure proper pressure switch activation and safe gas removal.
- Versatile Cross-Referencing: Replaces multiple industry-standard parts including Century 322P859, Dayton/Grainger 45KC34, and Universal DE3L038.
What are the signs that my Fasco A081 motor is failing?
Technicians often identify failure through excessive vibration, grinding or squealing sounds indicating bearing wear, or a failure to initiate the ignition sequence due to insufficient airflow/static pressure.
Is this a direct drop-in for the HWC series?
Yes, this Fasco A081 is the standard 3.3-inch diameter replacement for HWC and Magic-Pak units. Always verify the shaft dimensions (0.31" x 1.5") and rotation (CCW) against the existing assembly before starting the swap.
Does this motor include the gasket?
This specific SKU generally refers to the motor only. It is professional best practice to apply Permatex Gasket Maker or a new mounting gasket to ensure a gastight seal during the reinstallation of the inducer housing.
