Fasco A985 Motor
The Fasco A985 Motor is a high-performance 115V 3300 RPM inducer motor designed specifically for exact-drop replacement in residential gas furnaces. Built with a shaded pole motor design and a 3.3-inch frame, this single-speed unit ensures stable static pressure and reliable flue gas evacuation. It features a high-grade centrifugal blower assembly and ball bearing construction to handle high-temperature exhaust environments without premature failure. For technicians performing a furnace draft inducer replacement, the A985 offers a precise fit for specific inter-city products and OEM Lennox or Carrier configurations where a CCW rotation (lead end) is required. This HVAC blower motor operates at 1.8 amps, providing the necessary torque to maintain draft integrity throughout the heating cycle. Utilizing a Fasco furnace motor like the A985 reduces vibration noise and ensures the pressure switch remains closed for consistent furnace operation.
Key Performance Benefits
- Oversized Ball Bearings: Engineered to withstand high ambient temperatures within the furnace cabinet for extended service life.
- Direct OEM Fit: Eliminates the need for field modifications or mounting bracket adjustments during installation.
- High-Torque Output: Maintains a consistent 3300 RPM to meet strict flue gas venting requirements.
- Quiet Operation: Precision-balanced internal rotors minimize harmonic resonance and vibration throughout the ductwork.
- Thermal Protection: Integrated internal overload protection prevents winding burnout during restricted airflow conditions.
Common Installation Questions
Is the Fasco A985 compatible with my specific furnace model?
This motor is a common replacement for many ICP, Heil, and Tempstar units. You must verify the Fasco A985 cross reference data against your existing motor's part number and frame size before installation.
What is the rotation direction for this inducer motor?
The A985 is designed for Counter-Clockwise (CCW) rotation as viewed from the lead end/shaft end. Always confirm the rotation of your failed unit to ensure proper drafting.
How do I troubleshoot a noisy inducer motor?
Noise is often caused by debris in the blower wheel or worn bearings. If the Fasco A985 exhibits a high-pitched squeal or "grinding" sound, the bearing assembly is likely failing and requires a full motor replacement to avoid pressure switch trips.
