904085 Nordyne L1RC Combustion Inducer Motor Assembly
904085 Nordyne L1RC Combustion Inducer Motor Assembly
Product Overview
904085 is a genuine Nordyne OEM combustion inducer motor assembly engineered for Nordyne L1RC series gas furnaces. It evacuates combustion byproducts from the heat exchanger, establishes proper draft for safe ignition, and comes as a complete plug-and-play module with motor, blower wheel, housing gasket, and mounting hardware.

Compatibility
Fits Nordyne and Nordyne-Miller L1RC series single-stage gas furnaces, including but not limited to:
-
L1RC040HA, L1RC045HA, L1RC055HA, L1RC060HA models
-
Private-label equivalents built on the same L1RC combustion platform
Always verify your furnace’s data-plate model number and inducer motor requirement before ordering.
Technician Notes
-
De-energize the furnace at the service disconnect and shut off the gas supply.
-
Remove the furnace access panels to expose the inducer motor housing.
-
Photograph or label all wiring harness connectors and vacuum tubing to ensure accurate reconnection.
-
Disconnect the vacuum hose from the inducer housing port and unplug the motor wiring harness.
-
Remove mounting screws and extraction old inducer assembly. Inspect and replace the housing gasket if damaged.
-
Position the new 904085 assembly, align the gasket, and torque mounting screws evenly to OEM specifications.
-
Reconnect the vacuum tubing, ensuring a snug, leak-free fit on the blower housing barb.
-
Reattach the motor wiring harness, restore line voltage and gas supply.
-
Initiate a heat call; confirm the inducer motor runs smoothly, creates proper draft, and the furnace proceeds to ignition.
-
If the furnace still locks out or the motor fails to start, verify line voltage at the motor terminals, inspect the venting path for obstructions, and check that the gasket seals correctly.
