Technician Notes
-
De-energize all power and shut off the gas supply; follow lockout/tagout procedures.
-
Remove furnace access panels to expose the inducer assembly.
-
Photograph or label wiring harness connectors and vacuum tubing routing.
-
Disconnect motor harness and vacuum/pressure lines.
-
Unscrew mounting flange bolts and remove the old assembly; clean the gasket surface.
-
Position the new 1003441 assembly, align the gasket, and torque mounting hardware to OEM specs.
-
Reconnect vacuum tubing and motor harness; restore vent or duct connections.
-
Reapply power and gas, then call for heat; confirm smooth inducer startup, proper RPM, and gasket seal integrity.
-
Listen for abnormal noises and inspect vibration mounts or gaskets for wear; replace as needed to prevent vibration and leaks.
