OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor 1/2 HP 1075 RPM with Rain Guard for Model 09DE044C600

This is the factory OEM replacement condenser fan motor (part# HC44VL852) for the Carrier 09DE044C600 commercial condensing unit. The condenser fan motor drives airflow across the condenser coil to reject heat from the refrigerant circuit. When this motor fails, the unit will overheat, trip on high-pressure lockout, or the condenser fan will simply stop spinning — all leading to a complete loss of cooling. The integrated rain guard protects motor windings from water intrusion, a critical feature for rooftop and exposed outdoor installations.

• Specs: 1/2 HP | 208-230/460V, 1-Phase, 60 Hz | 1075 RPM | Rotation: CCW (shaft end) | Shaft: 1/2" diameter × 2.50" length | Frame 48 | Ball bearing | 3 mounting ears (VSU mount) | Requires 7.5 µF 440 VAC run capacitor (sold separately)
• OEM vs Generic: This factory-authorized motor is engineered to exact Carrier tolerances — including tested resonant frequencies, a liquid-tight lead connector, and UL/CSA qualification. Generic motors frequently use sleeve bearings and looser voltage tolerances, shortening service life in high-duty-cycle commercial applications.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Discharge and lock out power before starting. Tools needed: 5/16" and 3/8" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring before disconnecting. Always replace the run capacitor when replacing a motor — a weak capacitor is the leading cause of premature motor failure.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed as the direct OEM replacement for Carrier model 09DE044C600. Also crosses to GE/Genteq part# 5KCP39SGL288AS. Note: Carrier has superseded HC44VL852 with part# HC44VQ852 — our listing ships the current authorized replacement. Verify voltage and HP on your unit's data plate before ordering.
