• Air filter. The air filter traps dust and particles from circulation air before the air enters the evaporator or heat exchanger.

• Start capacitor. The motor start capacitor briefly increases voltage going to the blower motor to help the motor start.
• Bearings. Bearings support the blower wheel drive shaft and allow the blower wheel to spin freely.
