Heil Quaker ICP 1160734 Inducer Motor

The Heil Quaker ICP 1160734 Inducer Motor is a critical OEM replacement for high-efficiency gas furnaces, engineered to ensure precise combustion air intake and safe venting of flue gases. This draft inducer assembly features a shaded-pole or PSC motor designed to maintain the exact static pressure required to trip the pressure switch and initiate the ignition sequence. Built to withstand high-heat environments, the motor and housing are constructed from corrosion-resistant materials to prevent failure from flue gas condensate. As an OEM draft inducer, it provides a seamless mechanical fit for models across the International Comfort Products (ICP) umbrella, including Heil, Tempstar, and Arcoaire, eliminating the performance risks associated with generic alternatives that may not match original airflow curves.

• Optimized Airflow Calibration: Specifically tuned for ICP gas furnaces to ensure the proper air-to-fuel ratio and maximize heat exchanger efficiency.
• Durable Construction: High-grade sealed ball bearings or permanently lubricated sleeves reduce friction, extending the life of the furnace blower motor.
• Safety System Compliance: Maintains the necessary vacuum to keep the pressure switch closed, preventing system 1-3 flash code lockouts or ignition failures.
• Quiet Operation: Precision-balanced impeller wheel reduces vibration and mechanical noise during the pre-purge and post-purge cycles.

What are the signs that my ICP 1160734 inducer motor is failing?
Technicians often look for loud screeching or grinding, which indicates worn bearings. If the motor hums but won't start, the capacitor or internal windings may be compromised. Always verify 120V at the control board leads before replacing the motor.

Does this motor include the gasket?
Standard industry practice for these vent blowers usually includes a pre-cut fiber gasket or requires high-temp RTV silicone. It is critical to secure an airtight seal to prevent carbon monoxide leaks into the cabinet.

Is the 1160734 compatible with other ICP brands?
Yes, this direct replacement inducer is compatible with various models from Comfortmaker, KeepRite, and Day & Night. Always cross-reference the furnace model number found on the rating plate to confirm the SKU.
