320887-751 – INDUCER MOTOR GASKET KIT (CARRIER)

This gasket kit seals the connection between the draft inducer motor and the furnace housing. If you’re replacing the inducer motor or notice exhaust gas smell near the furnace, a worn gasket could be the cause. Always replace the gasket when you swap the inducer motor.

My furnace ignites then shuts off — is the inducer bad?

Usually no. That symptom is almost always the pressure switch — the inducer spins fine but the switch doesn't see enough draft. Check the condensate drain (plug = water backs up, switch won't close). Replace the hose if it's brittle. Inducer assembly is rarely the actual failure.

How do I test an inducer motor?

Pull the assembly, spin the wheel by hand — should turn freely, no grinding. Apply 120V directly to the motor leads (skip the board) — should run smoothly. If it doesn't spin, draws weak airflow, or bearings whine, replace.

Will an aftermarket inducer fit my OEM equipment?

Most aftermarket assemblies labeled 'DIRECT REPLACEMENT' fit without modification — same wheel diameter, same motor mount, same harness. Bring the old assembly in to verify before driving home with it.

How long should an inducer motor last?

8-15 years typical. The motor itself outlasts the bearings — bearing failure is the usual mode. Sealed-bearing motors last longer than open-bearing.
