OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor 1/8 HP 840 RPM for Model PH13NAZ18000AAAA

This is the OEM factory-authorized condenser fan motor for the Carrier PH13NAZ18000AAAA heat pump. The condenser fan motor drives the outdoor fan blade that expels heat from the refrigerant through the condenser coil. When this motor fails, the condenser coil overheats, triggering high-pressure lockout, or the outdoor unit runs with no fan movement at all — leading to compressor damage if not addressed promptly. The current active OEM part number is HC36AR231, which is the factory-authorized successor to the original HC35AE201; both numbers are fulfilled by this listing.

• Specs: 1/8 HP | 208–230V | 60 Hz | 840 RPM | 0.7A FLA | Counter-Clockwise rotation (shaft up) | 1/2" shaft diameter | 3.5" shaft length | 5 5/8" diameter (Frame 48Y) | GE/Genteq cross-reference: 5KCP39DFWB05AS | Required run capacitor: 5 MFD @ 370V (sold separately)
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier Factory Authorized Part engineered to exact speed, torque, and rotation tolerances for the PH13NAZ18000AAAA. Aftermarket motors often deviate in RPM or winding insulation class, shortening compressor life and voiding equipment warranty. Always specify OEM on a heat pump to preserve SEER2 rating integrity.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage before opening the unit. Discharge the run capacitor before disconnecting motor leads. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter, and a fan-blade puller for stubborn hubs. Photograph all wiring before removal. Note CW/CCW orientation before installing the fan blade on the new shaft.
• Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In stock at NationalHVACParts.com — ships same business day. We strongly recommend replacing the 5 MFD run capacitor at the same time; capacitors out of tolerance are the #1 cause of premature motor burnout.

Compatibility: Factory-specified for Carrier model PH13NAZ18000AAAA heat pump condensing unit. OEM part numbers HC35AE201 (discontinued) and HC36AR231 (current active). Verify your unit's data plate voltage and confirm fan blade hub bore matches 1/2" shaft diameter before installing. Questions about fitment?
