It is listed for the Panasonic CS-W12EKR. If the louvre has stopped moving, sits half open or points at an odd angle, this motor is the usual first suspect. Compare CWA981091 with the label on the old motor once you have it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePanasonic aircon louvre stuck or not swinging\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe air swing motor turns the horizontal louvre that directs air up or down out of the indoor unit, and it also closes the louvre when the system is switched off. It is driven by the indoor unit's main board. When the motor fails, the louvre stays stuck in one spot, won't close fully, twitches without moving, or makes a clicking or grinding noise as it tries. Air then blows in the wrong direction, often straight at the ceiling or down onto people. A broken louvre pin or a seized louvre can mimic the same fault, so check the louvre turns freely by hand with the power off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Panasonic part CWA981091\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir swing (louvre) motor, 12V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for the Panasonic CS-W12EKR indoor unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoves and closes the airflow louvre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the louvre motor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsolate the air conditioner at its circuit breaker before taking the front cover off, as the indoor unit is hard wired. Note how the motor shaft engages the louvre and how its lead runs back to the board, then swap the motor across and route the lead the same way. Move the louvre gently by hand first to make sure nothing binds. A licensed air conditioning technician or electrician should carry out the repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe louvre on my unit is stuck.

If the louvre moves freely by hand with the power off but still won't move under power, the motor is the most likely cause.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Panasonic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551170392142,"sku":"CWA981091","price":23.22,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/cwa981091-genuine-panasonic-air-swing-louvre-motor-12v-dc","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
