Reznor 196244 Fan Motor

When you are out in the field and a UDAP-125 or UDX-125 unit heater isn't moving air, a failed 1/20HP fan motor is the usual suspect. The Reznor 196244 is the direct OEM replacement engineered specifically for these industrial heaters. Running on 115V (60Hz) at 1050 RPM, this motor provides the exact torque and static pressure performance required to clear the heat exchanger and prevent high-limit tripping. As a veteran tech, you know that trying to "make another motor fit" often leads to airflow issues or premature failure; this model features the correct 7/16-inch shaft and open enclosure design for optimal cooling and long-term service in shop environments. Built with automatic thermal overload protection, it safeguards the windings during continuous high-load operations. Whether you are performing a mid-season repair or a scheduled overhaul, the OEM Reznor 196244 motor ensures your customer’s unit heater fan operates at factory-spec efficiency without the noise of a generic substitute.

• Direct OEM Alignment: Exact drop-in replacement for Reznor 196244, eliminating the need for mounting modifications or bracket fabrication.
• Verified Performance: 1/20HP 1050RPM rating is calibrated for the specific static pressure of UDAP-125 and UDX-125 series blowers.
• Enhanced Reliability: Features automatic thermal overload protection to prevent burnout in industrial applications.
• Precision Shaft Sizing: The 7/16 x 4-1/8 inch shaft ensures a secure fit for North American fan blade hubs.

• Will this work with older Reznor units? This motor is specifically designed for the UDAP-125 and UDX-125 models. Always verify the part number on the existing motor housing to ensure HVAC motor compatibility.
• Why is my unit tripping the high-limit switch? If the 115V fan motor has failed or is dropping RPMs, airflow across the heat exchanger decreases, causing the limit switch to "open." Replacing it with the Reznor 196244 restores proper cooling.
• Does this include the capacitor? As a permanent split capacitor (PSC) design, always verify if your existing run capacitor is in spec; replacing the motor and capacitor together is best practice for maximizing heaters' fan performance.
