OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor 1/12 HP 208-230V for Model PH12NA018000ACAA

This is the genuine OEM factory-specified condenser fan motor for the Carrier PH12NA018000ACAA heat pump. The condenser fan motor drives the outdoor fan blade to expel heat from the refrigerant coil during the cooling cycle and absorb heat during heating. When this motor fails, you'll typically notice the outdoor unit running but with no airflow, the system tripping on high-pressure lockout, warm air from supply registers, or the unit shutting down entirely due to overheating. In some cases, the motor may hum but fail to spin — a sign the windings or bearings have failed.

• Specs: 1/12 HP | 208-230V | 1 Phase | 1100 RPM | 0.5A | 60 Hz | 0.5" shaft diameter | 1.5" shaft length | Frame 39 | Factory OEM part number HC31GE232
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier Factory Authorized Part, built to exact HP, RPM, and rotation tolerances required by the PH12NA018000ACAA. Generic aftermarket motors often deviate in RPM or shaft dimensions, causing fan blade imbalance, vibration, and premature bearing failure. OEM ensures a drop-in fit with zero guesswork.
• Install Difficulty: 3/5 — Requires disconnecting power at the breaker and discharging any capacitors before proceeding. Tools needed: nut driver set, wire stripper, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Always verify rotation direction and photograph all wiring connections before removal. Note: Replace the run capacitor at the same time — a weak capacitor is a leading cause of motor failure and will damage a new motor.
• Warranty: Backed by Carrier's OEM replacement warranty. Ships same business day from our stocked warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered as the direct OEM replacement for Carrier model PH12NA018000ACAA. Also cross-references HC31GE232A, HC31GE231, and HC32GE230. Always verify voltage, HP, RPM, and shaft specs against your unit's data plate before ordering.
