The \u003cstrong\u003eWeil-McLain\u003c\/strong\u003e parts list for the \u003cstrong\u003eCGi - Series 2 and 3\u003c\/strong\u003e (Fig. 10) shows it as the \"\u003cstrong\u003eInducer Fan Assembly Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e - (Includes Gasket and Instructions)\" for \u003cstrong\u003eSeries 3\u003c\/strong\u003e, and distributors describe it as an \u003cstrong\u003einducer\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eassembly\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003emounting hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e. The photo shows the \u003cstrong\u003eblack blower housing\u003c\/strong\u003e with its \u003cstrong\u003emotor\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003eflexible conduit\u003c\/strong\u003e carrying the \u003cstrong\u003emotor\u003c\/strong\u003e leads, a \u003cstrong\u003ecast inlet\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003ewhite gasket\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efour flange nuts\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003eblack mounting plate\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003einducer fan\u003c\/strong\u003e is what pulls the \u003cstrong\u003eflue gases\u003c\/strong\u003e through the boiler and pushes them out through the \u003cstrong\u003event\u003c\/strong\u003e, so when it fails the whole boiler is down. Typical failure signs are a \u003cstrong\u003emotor\u003c\/strong\u003e that hums but does not spin, noisy or seized bearings, a \u003cstrong\u003eblower wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e that is loose or fouled, or a \u003cstrong\u003emotor\u003c\/strong\u003e that trips on overload after the boiler has run a while. Because the kit is an \u003cstrong\u003eassembly\u003c\/strong\u003e, you replace the whole unit instead of sourcing pieces and balancing a wheel in the field, which is the faster and more reliable repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not confuse the \u003cstrong\u003eSeries 3\u003c\/strong\u003e kit with the \u003cstrong\u003eSeries 2\u003c\/strong\u003e kit.

When you install the new \u003cstrong\u003eassembly\u003c\/strong\u003e, seat the \u003cstrong\u003egasket\u003c\/strong\u003e evenly, tighten the \u003cstrong\u003efour flange nuts\u003c\/strong\u003e in a cross pattern, route the conduit and leads away from hot surfaces, and verify that the \u003cstrong\u003einducer\u003c\/strong\u003e starts and the boiler proves \u003cstrong\u003edraft\u003c\/strong\u003e before you leave.
