A high-quality 1/30 HP OEM replacement that restores safe combustion airflow for residential gas furnaces.
A draft inducer motor is one of the most important components in a gas furnace. It creates the airflow needed to remove combustion gases safely and allows the pressure switch to verify proper venting before ignition begins.
When the inducer motor starts to fail, homeowners may experience ignition failures, furnace lockouts, unusual noises, or inconsistent heating.
The Fasco D1196 Draft Inducer Motor is designed as a high-quality OEM replacement that restores proper combustion airflow and helps residential furnaces operate safely and efficiently. Its compact design and reliable performance make it a trusted choice for HVAC service professionals.

Why a Properly Functioning Draft Inducer Motor Matters
Before a furnace ignites, the draft inducer motor must establish proper airflow through the venting system. If it cannot generate enough draft, the furnace's safety controls will prevent ignition.
Real Impact
Example 1: A furnace repeatedly enters safety lockout because the pressure switch cannot detect proper venting. Replacing the worn Fasco D1196 restores the required airflow and allows normal ignition.
Example 2: A homeowner notices a loud grinding noise every time the furnace starts. The inducer motor bearings have worn out, and replacing the motor eliminates the noise while restoring reliable operation.
A properly functioning inducer motor protects both the heating system and the occupants by ensuring combustion gases are safely exhausted.
Built for Continuous Heating Performance
Residential furnaces cycle hundreds of times during the heating season. The draft inducer motor must perform reliably during every startup. It is built to handle:
- Daily furnace operation
- Residential HVAC heating systems
- Continuous combustion airflow
- Seasonal heating demands
- Long operating cycles
Its Open Air Over (OAO) design allows the motor to stay properly cooled when installed in equipment with adequate airflow.
Easy Installation for HVAC Technicians
The Fasco D1196 is designed as a direct OEM replacement, helping contractors complete repairs efficiently and reduce system downtime. Benefits for contractors:
- OEM replacement compatibility
- Compact 3.3-inch motor design
- Quick installation
- Reliable startup performance
- Reduced labor time
This allows technicians to restore furnace operation without unnecessary modifications.
Reduce Furnace Downtime and Costly Repairs
A worn draft inducer motor can eventually lead to complete furnace shutdown, leaving homeowners without heat during cold weather. Replacing the motor before total failure helps prevent emergency service calls and protects other furnace components. Benefits of using the right replacement motor:
- Reliable furnace ignition
- Proper combustion venting
- Reduced pressure switch faults
- Improved heating performance
- Longer furnace service life
Example 1: A residential furnace intermittently fails to start because the inducer motor is no longer reaching full speed. Installing the Fasco D1196 restores dependable heating.
Example 2: During routine maintenance, an HVAC technician identifies excessive motor wear and replaces the inducer motor before it causes an unexpected winter breakdown.
Common Applications
The Fasco D1196 Draft Inducer Motor is commonly used in:
- Residential gas furnaces
- Draft inducer blower assemblies
- OEM furnace replacement applications
- HVAC heating systems
- Combustion air movement equipment
Its durable construction makes it suitable for both emergency repairs and preventative maintenance.
