OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor with Rain Guard — HC44VL852 for Model 09DE054C600

This is the factory OEM replacement condenser fan motor with integrated rain guard for the Carrier 09DE054C600 commercial/residential HVAC unit. Manufactured by GE (Genteq) to Carrier's exact Factory Authorized Parts (FAP) specifications, this motor drives the condenser fan blade to expel heat from the refrigerant coil. When the condenser fan motor fails, the system will overheat, trip the high-pressure limit, short-cycle, or the fan blade will simply stop spinning — leaving your unit unable to reject heat and cool effectively.

• Specs: 1/2 HP | 208/230/460V, 1-Phase | 1075 RPM | Rotation: CCW (counterclockwise, lead end) | Shaft: 1/2" × 2.50" | Frame: 48Y (5 5/8" diameter) | Bearings: Ball | Mounting: 3-ear vertical | Includes factory rain guard | Requires separate 7.5 µF 440V run capacitor (not included)
• OEM vs Generic: This OEM motor is engineered to meet Carrier's Temprise thermal standard — stricter than UL 1995 requirements — and is designed for 100,000 on/off cycles and 50,000 total operating hours. Generic aftermarket motors often lack the rain guard, use sleeve bearings instead of ball bearings, and do not match factory wire lengths or mounting geometry, requiring field modifications and risking premature failure.
• Install Difficulty: 3/5 — Requires disconnecting line voltage at the disconnect box and discharging the run capacitor before handling. Tools needed: multimeter, 5/16" and 3/8" nut drivers, wire strippers, needle-nose pliers. Always photograph existing wiring and confirm rotation direction before mounting. Note: HC44VL852 has been superseded by HC44VQ852 — confirm your unit's data plate specs before ordering.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Ships same business day from our warehouse.
