Reznor 1005552 Motor

When you are out on a service call and a Reznor unit heater is locking out on a pressure switch or high limit, the venter motor is often the primary suspect. The Reznor 1005552 Venter Motor is the official OEM replacement designed for high-static combustion environments. Running at a precise 2900 RPM with a .016 HP output, this motor provides the necessary torque to drive the inducer wheel and clear combustion gases from the heat exchanger efficiently. Built for 120V/60Hz systems, this single-phase motor pulls approximately 0.29 Amps, making it a drop-in electrical match for standard commercial and industrial units.

The 1005552 inducer motor is the direct engineering successor to legacy part numbers 217032 and 175273. It is commonly utilized across Reznor UBX, UBZ, UDX, and UDZ series heaters, specifically in the 30,000 to 60,000 BTU range. For contractors, the compact frame and specific bracket alignment ensure you aren't fighting the housing during a mid-winter swap. This motor is critical for maintaining the proper draft required to satisfy safety circuits and prevent soot buildup on the burner assembly.

• Direct OEM Match: Effectively replaces Reznor 217032 and 175273 without modification to the venter housing.
• Optimized Performance: Sustains a consistent 2900 RPM for reliable pressure switch closure and venting.
• Industrial Build: Features a 4uf/370 VAC capacitor (standard specs) and durable windings for continuous-duty heating applications.
• Compatibility: Specifically engineered for Reznor UDX30, UDX45, UDX60, and UBX series unit heaters.

Does this motor include the inducer wheel?
This is the motor only. If your inducer wheel (fan blade) is corroded or seized to the shaft, you should inspect it during removal to determine if a separate wheel is needed for the repair.

Why is my Reznor heater tripping the limit switch after installing a new motor?
Ensure the motor rotation is correct and the fan blade is seated at the precise factory depth (typically 2-1/8 inches on some UD models). Incorrect blade spacing can lead to insufficient airflow and overheating.

Can I use this to replace a generic venter motor?
While the specs might look similar, using an OEM Reznor 1005552 ensures the mounting bolt patterns and shaft dimensions align perfectly with the factory mounting plate, preventing vibration and premature bearing failure.
