Reznor 236158 Inducer Motor Only

The Reznor 236158 Inducer Motor is the verified OEM replacement motor for the legacy Reznor 196037. Engineered specifically for high-efficiency draft induction, this 115V single-phase motor is critical for maintaining proper static pressure and venting combustion gases in compatible Reznor unit heaters. When a furnace fails to clear the pressure switch circuit, a failing draft inducer motor is often the culprit. This unit provides the necessary RPMs to ensure safe ignition sequences and consistent airflow through the heat exchanger. As a direct-drive component, it facilitates a precise fit into the existing blower housing, reducing vibration and mid-cycle noise. For service technicians performing HVAC preventative maintenance or emergency repairs, verifying the PSC motor specifications and voltage compatibility ensures long-term system reliability. This motor is built to withstand the high thermal demands of continuous combustion cycles common in commercial heating applications.

Common Questions

Is the 236158 compatible with my Reznor heater?
If your unit currently uses OEM part 196037, this is the official manufacturer-recommended update. Always verify your unit's model and serial number against the HVAC parts manual.

Does this include the blower wheel or gasket?
This is the inducer motor only. It is recommended to inspect your existing blower wheel for cracks or debris and replace the flange gasket to ensure a proper airtight seal during installation.

What are the symptoms of a failing inducer motor?
Common indicators include a high-pitched bearing whine, failure to close the pressure switch, or a "no heat" call where the motor hums but fails to spin up to speed.
