Bradford White 265-45584-00 Blower Assembly

The Bradford White 265-45584-00 Blower Assembly is a direct OEM replacement engineered for high-efficiency power-vented gas water heaters, specifically within the Bradford White RG2PV and MITW series. This assembly is critical for maintaining correct venturi airflow and ensuring the safe expulsion of combustion gases through the exhaust system. Built for durability in demanding mechanical rooms, this motor and blower housing unit maintains the precise static pressure required to trigger the pressure switch, preventing intermittent lockout codes. As a technician-grade component, it features a heavy-duty capacitor and high-torque motor designed to handle the CFM requirements of 40, 50, and 60-gallon power-vent models. Installation involves a modular Molex plug-and-play harness, reducing field labor time. Replacing a seized or noisy vent blower motor with this genuine 265-45584-00 ensures the flue gas temperature and gas-to-air ratios remain within manufacturer specifications for optimal thermal efficiency.

• Precise OEM Fit: Drop-in replacement for Bradford White power venters, eliminating the need for mounting bracket modifications.
• Enhanced Static Pressure: Engineered to provide consistent vacuum levels to ensure reliable pressure switch closure.
• Thermal Overload Protection: Equipped with internal sensors to prevent motor burnout during restricted vent conditions.
• Quiet Operation: Balanced impeller wheel reduces vibration and resonance through the vent piping.
• System Compatibility: Fully compatible with Icon System gas valves and electronic controls for seamless diagnostic communication.

Is the gasket included with the 265-45584-00 assembly?
Most OEM blower assemblies include the mounting gasket to ensure a gas-tight seal at the flue collector, though checking the existing housing for debris is recommended before installation.

What are the symptoms of a failing blower assembly?
Common indicators include a loud grinding noise from the blower bearings, a 3-flash or 2-flash code on the status LED, or the water heater failing to initiate the pre-purge cycle.

Can I use this motor on other water heater brands?
This is a specific Bradford White replacement part. Using it on non-specified brands may result in incorrect air-fuel mixtures and potential safety hazards due to differing RPM and CFM ratings.
