OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor HC31GE229 for Model CA16NA01800GAAAA
This OEM condenser fan motor (part number HC31GE229) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier CA16NA01800GAAAA split-system air conditioner. The condenser fan motor drives the outdoor fan blade, pulling air across the condenser coil to reject heat from the refrigerant. When this motor fails, the outdoor unit may run briefly then trip on high-pressure lockout, the system may blow warm air, or the condenser fan may stop spinning entirely while the compressor continues to run — a condition that can cause compressor damage within minutes if left unaddressed.
