OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor 1/12 HP 208/230V 1100 RPM for Model PH13NR018000AHAA

This OEM Carrier condenser fan motor (part number HC31GE234) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH13NR018000AHAA heat pump condenser unit. The condenser fan motor drives the outdoor fan blade to pull air across the condenser coil, rejecting heat absorbed from your home. When this motor fails, the condenser coil overheats, triggering high-pressure lockout or causing the compressor to shut down on thermal protection — symptoms include the outdoor fan not spinning, the unit running briefly then cutting off, or the system blowing warm air on a hot day.

• Specs: 1/12 HP | 208/230V, 60 Hz, 1-Phase | 1100 RPM | 0.50 Amps | Rotation: Clockwise (CW) | Shaft: 1/2" diameter × 1.50" length | Frame: 48Y | Bearing: Sleeve | Mount: Through-bolt | Capacitor: 5 µF / 370VAC (sold separately)
• OEM vs Generic: This is the factory-matched OEM motor built to exact HP, RPM, and rotation specifications for the PH13NR018000AHAA. Generic motors often deviate in shaft length or rotation direction, causing airflow reduction, vibration, or premature bearing failure. OEM ensures a wire-for-wire, bolt-for-bolt replacement with zero guesswork.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Disconnect all power before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, wire stripper, multimeter, and a capacitor discharge tool. Photograph all wiring before removal. Note CW rotation — confirm fan blade pitch direction matches before reassembly. Pro tip: replace the run capacitor at the same time to prevent premature motor failure.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.
