Hi,

Not sure what you're referring to as a cage ????

What is furnace model number ?


Thanks,
Robert

Hey Robert,
Sorry i meant the cage for the A/C that holds the blower...located in the laundry room of her trailer. I'll have to call and ask her what the model number is...but there is not a blower in the cage, so I'm not sure how its working without it...?

thank you for your response

Hi,

Are you talking about the squirrel cage/ blower wheel ? If so, you cannot operate heat or a/c without it.


With all you've stated, not sure of what help I can be from here.

Sounds like you're going to need an honest and reputable hvac contractor to advise in person after seeing what was done.


Take care and best wishes,
Robert
