Wayne 20288 Blower Wheel – 3.44" x 5.25" x 1/2" (Fits Wayne E Series)

Restore proper airflow and burner performance with the Wayne 20288 blower wheel, designed for E Series oil burners. This component plays a critical role in delivering the correct air volume needed for efficient combustion.

If your burner is running rich, producing soot, or not burning clean, a worn or damaged blower wheel is often the issue. Replacing it helps restore proper air movement and combustion balance.

Specifications:

• Diameter: 3.44"
• Width: 5.25"
• Bore Size: 1/2"

Fits:

• Wayne E Series Burners

What it does:
In a forced draft oil burner, the blower wheel (squirrel cage) is driven directly by the burner motor and moves air into the combustion chamber. This airflow is critical for proper fuel/air mixture and clean burning.

Airflow is adjusted using air bands on the burner housing, but the blower wheel is what actually moves the air. If it’s worn, bent, or clogged, performance suffers.

Why it matters:
A bad blower wheel can lead to:

• Poor combustion
• Excess smoke or soot
• Reduced efficiency
• Burner performance issues

Replacing it helps restore proper airflow, cleaner burns, and reliable operation.
