EM3466 – BLOWER MOTOR – FURNACE (3/4 HP, 120V, 10MFD)

If your indoor unit runs but produces weak or no airflow, the blower motor may need replacement. This 3/4 HP motor fits many residential furnaces and air handlers running on 115V. Common failure signs include a blower that won’t start, runs intermittently, or makes grinding/squealing sounds.

Specs: 3/4 HP, 115V, 1075 RPM, 4-speed, reversible rotation, requires 10 MFD 370V capacitor (not included), 48-frame

Replaces: EM3466, 55470

Fits: Universal 115V furnace and air handler applications. Bring your old motor or equipment model number and we’ll confirm the match.

Fits these models

• Universal aftermarket replacement for direct-drive PSC blower motors with matching HP / voltage / cap requirement
• Common applications: Rheem / Ruud RH / RA series air handlers, Goodman ARUF / AWUF air handlers, Carrier / Bryant air handlers, Trane TAM / 4TEE air handlers (older), York / Coleman air handlers
• Verify HP, voltage, shaft diameter, shaft length, and rotation direction match your existing motor before installing

How do I know if my blower motor is bad?

Pull the blower, spin the shaft by hand — should turn freely with no grinding or wobble. Check resistance between motor leads (varies by HP, typically 1-10 ohms across main winding). Open winding or shorted = bad. But first: test the run cap. A weak cap mimics every blower motor symptom.

Can I go up in HP?

A little — 1/4 HP replacing a 1/6 HP is fine if the application allows the extra airflow. Going DOWN burns out the motor. Always match voltage exactly (120V motor stays in 120V; 240V stays in 240V).

How long should a blower motor last?

8-12 years on average in Dallas. Texas dust + summer cycling shortens that. The cap usually fails first; if you replace the cap on schedule (every 5-7 years), the motor lasts longer.

What's the difference between PSC and ECM?

PSC = permanent split capacitor, the classic single-speed-with-tap motor. ECM = electronically commutated, variable-speed and 30%+ more efficient. You can replace PSC with PSC, but you generally CAN'T replace PSC with ECM without a new control board too. Different worlds.
