blower motor

HVAC circulation component

A blower motor is an electric motor that drives a fan to move air, typically found in vehicles and HVAC systems.

In cars, the blower motor pushes heated or cooled air through the vents: The blower motor went out, so we had no defrost all winter.

When it fails, you often hear squealing or grinding before complete silence.
