Heil Quaker ICP 1171723 Motor

For contractors and service tech professionals, the Heil Quaker ICP 1171723 Blower Motor is a high-performance, drop-in replacement designed specifically for Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and other ICP-branded air handlers and furnaces. This 1/3 HP blower motor operates on a 208-230Vac single-phase circuit, providing the reliable torque necessary for consistent airflow. As a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor, it delivers high efficiency with a three-speed tap configuration, allowing for precise CFMs during both heating and cooling cycles. The 48 NEMA frame size and band mount design ensure a standard fit into existing blower housings, while the sleeve bearing construction provides quiet operation in residential applications. Operating at 1075 RPM with CCW rotation (lead end), this motor handles a 2.4 Amp load, making it a robust solution for restoring system performance without the need for complex modifications. Ensure you verify the 1/2" shaft diameter and 10MFD/370V capacitor requirements during your diagnosis to ensure a clean install.

Key Benefits for HVAC Professionals

• 3-Speed Versatility: Direct-drive multi-speed taps allow for optimized airflow balancing across various ductwork static pressures.
• Sleeve Bearing Design: Engineered for quiet, vibration-free performance, reducing customer call-backs regarding mechanical noise.
• OEM Compatibility: Replaces common ICP part numbers like 1171721 and fits series such as EBX2400A and FSM2X, ensuring a predictable HVAC motor replacement.
• High Durability: The NEMA 48 frame and 1075 RPM rating provide a standardized, heavy-duty build for long-term service in forced-air systems.

Common Questions about the ICP 1171723 Motor

What are the wiring specifications for this 3-speed motor?
This motor utilizes standard color-coded leads for High, Medium, and Low speed taps. Always refer to the wiring diagram on the motor shell to match the original control board or fan relay outputs.

Does this motor require a specific run capacitor?
Yes, as a Permanent Split Capacitor motor, it requires a 10 MFD 370V run capacitor (sold separately). Installing an old or mismatched capacitor can lead to overheating or failed starts.

How do I confirm the rotation of my existing 1171723 motor?
This unit is rated for Counter-Clockwise (CCW) rotation from the lead end. It is critical to compare the rotation of your existing blower wheel to prevent back-venting or poor airflow performance.
