Common Questions

Is this motor a direct replacement for my furnace blower?
Yes, the 20046608S is a genuine Amana-Goodman motor designed to replace specific 4-speed 1/2 HP models. Always verify the shaft size and rotation direction (CCWLE) before installation.

Why should I replace the capacitor at the same time?
A weak capacitor can cause the motor to draw excessive amperage, leading to overheating or failure. Installing a new capacitor ensures the motor starts and runs within its specified electrical parameters.

Can I use this motor if my original was only a single-speed?
While technically possible, it requires specific wiring knowledge to select the correct speed tap. It is recommended to match the speed functional capabilities of your existing control board.
