Reznor 96286 Motor

For service technicians maintaining legacy gas-fired heating systems, the Reznor 96286 Fan Motor remains the standard OEM replacement for reliable airflow in unit heater applications. This specific 1/70 HP 115V motor is engineered for a precise fit in Reznor F-25 and FE-25 models, ensuring the fan assembly maintains correct static pressure and heat exchanger clearance. Operating at a nominal 1150 RPM, this CWLE rotation motor (Clockwise Lead End) features an open-type enclosure designed for optimal cooling in high-ambient cabinet environments. Built to Nortek Global HVAC specifications, the single-phase, 60 Hz electrical profile delivers consistent permanent split capacitor (PSC) performance and 0.6 Amps of draw, preventing common nuisance trips in control boards. When replacing an aging or seized Reznor HVAC blower motor, utilizing this genuine part ensures proper shaft alignment and mounting stud compatibility, reducing installation time and preventing premature shaft wear commonly seen with universal aftermarket alternatives.

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Verified fit for Reznor F-25 units, eliminating the need for field modifications or bracket fabrication.
• Precision Operating Specs: Rated at 1150 RPM and 1/70 HP to match original system CFM requirements and thermal lift.
• Durable Construction: Features automatic thermal protection to prevent winding failure during restricted airflow conditions.
• Industrial Grade Lead Ends: Simplifies wiring into existing 115/1/60 power supplies for faster job site turnaround.

Is the Reznor 96286 compatible with newer UDAP models?
This motor is specifically designed for legacy F and FE series unit heaters. For modern UDAP or UZAA series, you typically require the 196242 or similar 1050 RPM motors depending on the specific BTUH rating.

Does this motor require a separate run capacitor?
This is a single-speed fan motor designed for direct-drive applications in specific Reznor units. Always verify the wiring diagram on your specific heater cabinet, as certain revisions utilize built-in thermal protection and specific lead configurations.

What is the shaft rotation for this part?
The Reznor 96286 is a CWLE (Clockwise Lead End) motor. Confirming rotation is critical before installation to ensure proper air induction across the heat exchanger.
