Fasco A287 Inducer Motor

The Fasco A287 Inducer Motor is an industry-standard OEM replacement draft inducer blower specifically engineered for Goodman and Janitrol heating systems. Operating at 3000 RPM with a 1/25 HP output, this 115V shaded pole motor is a direct drop-in for Goodman part numbers 7021-9655 and 10585405. As a critical safety component, it provides the necessary static pressure to engage the furnace pressure switch and effectively manage flue gas exhaustion. Featuring a CW (clockwise) rotation and a 3.3-inch frame, this blower assembly utilizes a thermally protected design to withstand high ambient temperatures within the cabinet. For technicians, the 1.15 Amp draw ensures compatibility with existing HVAC control boards without overloading the circuit. Ensuring your Fasco A287 is properly sealed—often requiring a high-temp gasket or sealant—is vital for maintaining the internal vacuum required for safe combustion cycles.

• Direct OEM Cross-Reference: Designed to replace Goodman 7021-9655 and 10585405 precisely, eliminating the need for mounting modifications or bracket adjustments.
• Robust Performance: The 3000 RPM draft inducer provides consistent airflow to clear the heat exchanger of combustion by-products prior to ignition.
• Enhanced Safety Features: Built-in thermal overload protection prevents motor burnout during extended run cycles or restricted exhaust conditions.
• Durable Construction: Features high-quality sleeve bearings and an open enclosure designed for optimal heat dissipation in demanding HVAC draft inducer applications.

Is the Fasco A287 compatible with multiple Goodman models?
Yes, it is primarily used in Goodman and Janitrol furnaces. Always verify the 7021-XXXX number on your existing motor housing to ensure the static pressure curves match the manufacturer's requirements.

Do I need to replace the entire blower assembly or just the motor?
The A287 typically comes as the motor and impeller assembly. Because the plastic or metal housing can warp or accumulate debris, replacing the full Fasco blower assembly ensures factory-spec airflow and reduces noise from imbalanced wheels.

What causes these inducer motors to fail prematurely?
In most cases, failure is caused by bearing wear or moisture buildup from the condensate management system. If you hear a high-pitched squealing or the furnace fails to bridge the pressure switch, the 115V inducer motor is likely the culprit.
