Default how to remove blower motor in gas furnace in attic?


wrote in message
oups.com...
Hi all,

I have a Carrier gas furnace in my attic:
Model # 376AAW036055
Product #376AAW036055AAFA
Serial #0385C82455

and, I would like to know if there is a trick to remove the blower
motor? (the motor for blowing air through the house ventilation
system). It seams to be in the back inside this drum-like
compartment. I don't see how the motor comes out of there unless you
try and pull the whole "drum" compartment out as well, which also
looks difficult. If the whole furnace top came off, that would be
much easier, but it looks like the furnace top is not removable.
Also, if anyone knows if I can get a repair manual or a website that
shows diagrams, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Ricky Roma


I don't know about your model but in most furnaces I have seen the whole
blower assembly slides out pretty easily after removing a few screws. It
should not be necessary to remove the top. Look carefully at the square flat
plate that the blower outlet is secured to as that is the part which
generally slides out.
