Westinghouse 904796 Inducer Motor Gas Furnace

Product Description

The WESTINGHOUSE 904796 is an inducer motor designed for non-condensing gas furnace applications. The inducer motor drives the draft inducer assembly, creating the negative pressure required to pull combustion gases through the heat exchanger and exhaust them safely through the flue. It is a direct mechanical component of the furnace venting system and is typically replaced by a licensed HVAC technician during a service call or scheduled maintenance. This motor is specific to Nortek G7-series non-condensing gas furnaces and is an OEM-style replacement part.

This inducer motor is intended for use in non-condensing gas furnace installations where proper venting and combustion airflow management are required. It is suited for residential HVAC systems using B-vent or similar exhaust configurations. The part is specified for 054-23A and 072-24B non-condensing gas furnace models, making it a targeted replacement for those system configurations. Installers should verify the furnace model designation before ordering to confirm fitment.
