Heil Quaker ICP 1175979 Inducer Motor

The Heil Quaker ICP 1175979 Inducer Motor is a critical OEM replacement part designed for high-efficiency HVAC systems. Operating at 230V with a 1/16HP rating, this 3450 RPM single-phase motor provides the necessary torque to drive the centrifugal fan, ensuring proper combustion air intake and flue gas exhaustion. Built with a durable ball-bearing design and rigid ear mounting, this draft inducer assembly component is engineered to withstand the thermal stress of continuous furnace draft inducer cycles while maintaining a low 0.52 FLA (Full Load Amps) draw.

For field technicians, the ICP 1175979 is the standard solution for 208-230V multi-stage or high-output residential units. Its 5/16-inch shaft diameter and CW (Clockwise) rotation are precision-matched to maintain the pressure switch tolerances required for safe ignition sequences. Whether addressing a seized shaft or a failed winding, this motor restores the static pressure necessary to close the pressure manifold and initiate the heating cycle. Note that this is a non-cancellable and non-returnable specialty electrical item.

• Precision OEM Compatibility: Direct fit for numerous ICP, Heil, and Quaker models, eliminating mounting modifications in the field.
• High-Speed Efficiency: 3450 RPM output ensures sufficient negative pressure to reliably close the system pressure switch.
• Industrial-Grade Construction: Features ball bearings for reduced friction and extended operational life compared to sleeve-bearing alternatives.
• Low Power Draw: Designed for 230V HVAC motors, drawing only 0.52 Amps to maximize energy efficiency and reduce control board stress.

What are the signs of a failing 1175979 inducer motor?
Technicians often report loud humming, rattling, or a "grinding" noise during the pre-purge cycle. If the motor fails to reach speed, the furnace will likely throw a pressure switch lockout code.

Does this motor include the inducer wheel or gasket?
This SKU typically includes the motor and mounting hardware. We recommend inspecting the existing cooling fan and housing gasket for heat damage and replacing them during installation to ensure an airtight seal.

Can I use a 115V motor as a substitute?
No. This is a 230V 1/16HP motor. Using a 115V motor on a 230V circuit will cause immediate electrical failure and potentially damage the integrated furnace control board.
