My HVAC contractor identified that the draft inducer motor had seized on my Goodman furnace (this after he just replaced the blower motor this past April). I researched the replacement part after he gave me a quote and I would like to avoid his supplier's markup on the replacement motor, and possily the labor costs for the installation.

I have two questions for the forum. First, I am fairly handy with electric, having run electric for ceiling fans and other fixtures throughout my house, as well as having replaced the pump for the hot tub. Having taken a look at the motor within the furnace, it looks like a fairly simple (famous last words) procedure to replace it. Would you recommend that a do-it-yourselfer replace this motor?

Second, is there an installation manual for the motor? I do not have the Goodman model number for the furnace handy, but the inducer motor is a FASCO 7021-9087. I ordered a fully assembled FASCO A140 replacement motor, which, I'm told, is the replacement for the 7021-9087.

Thanks in advance.

Exactly what happened to me this week. I found a good deal on one after the repairman wanted to charge me 400 bucks for one. Got it in the mail yesterday, but can't figure out how to hook it back up. Has anyone e mailed you or have you figured it out yet?

I received the fan in the mail on Friday and installed it in about 30 minutes yesterday. I was working on a Goodman model furnace and the fan to be replaced was very accessible once I removed the side panel. Once installed, the fan worked and the furnace kicked on the very time I started it up.

The procedure was fairly straightforward. I loosened the screws on the clamps that held the PVC exhaust pipe to the exhaust of the fan. Removed the two leads (purple in my furnace) from some type of sensor on the fan. Removed the black and white leads from the fan from the clips that led to the black and white leads from the mother board in the other compartment of the furnace. Removed the green ground wire from the screw to which it was attached. Then, removed the three screws holding the fan in place. There were also two drainage hoses connected to the fan. One had a clamp (used needlenose pliers to remove), the other did not. Removed both hoses, and pulled the old fan out. I put the new fan in and reconncted everything in the same fashion that it was originally connected. I also used a cable tie to secure all of the wires within the furnace. I also used some electrical tape around of the leads that had some exposed wire.

Oh, I guess I should mention that I had everything off on the thermostat (system off and fan off), and the kill switch to the furnace was off as well. Also turned off the dial-switch for the gas. That switch was right next to the compartment with the fan.

I wasn't able to find an installation manual, but I did find the following website (which doesn't give specifics on the fan, but has installation procedures for the whole furnace).

I ordered the fan from the electric motor warehouse. I searched on the model number of the FASCO fan that went bad.
