OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor HC39GE242 for Model CA16NA04800GBAAA

This OEM condenser fan motor (part number HC39GE242) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier CA16NA04800GBAAA 4-ton single-stage split-system air conditioner. The condenser fan motor drives the outdoor fan blade, pulling air across the condenser coil to dissipate heat from the refrigerant. When this motor fails, the condenser loses the ability to reject heat — causing the system to overheat, trip the high-pressure limit, and shut down entirely. Common failure symptoms include the outdoor fan not spinning while the compressor runs, the system short-cycling on a hot day, or a seized/noisy motor bearing producing a grinding or humming sound.

• Specs: 1/4 HP | 825 RPM | 208–230V single-phase | Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) | Clockwise rotation (viewed from shaft end) | 48-frame | 1/2" shaft diameter | Factory-balanced for low vibration and quiet operation
• OEM vs Generic: The OEM HC39GE242 is wound and balanced to exact Carrier factory tolerances, ensuring correct airflow CFM across the condenser coil. Generic motors frequently deviate in RPM and rotation direction, risking coil freeze-up, compressor failure, or voided equipment warranty.
• Install Difficulty: 3/5 — Disconnect power and verify zero voltage before starting. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, adjustable wrench, multimeter, and a blade puller (recommended). Always photograph the existing wiring and blade pitch before removal. Capacitor may need separate replacement — test before reinstalling.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. In-stock units ship same business day from our warehouse.
