About the Draft Inducer Motor
The draft inducer fan motor draws air into the burner and then exhausts it out the flue. As the air flows through the draft inducer assembly, it closes a vacuum switch to signal that proper air flow is present. If the inducer motor is not working properly, the water heater's burner won't light. Over time, the bearings on the inducer motor wear out. The inducer motor could also have a clogged vacuum port. If the vacuum port is clogged, the motor will not be able to close the vacuum switch, preventing the ignition process from continuing.
