OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor HC31GE234 — 1/12 HP 1100 RPM 230V for Model PH13NR01800GAHAA

This is the factory-specified OEM condenser fan motor for the Carrier PH13NR01800GAHAA heat pump / air conditioning condensing unit. The condenser fan motor drives the outdoor fan blade to pull air across the condenser coil, rejecting heat from the refrigerant. When this motor fails, the outdoor fan will stop spinning, causing the compressor to overheat, trip on high-pressure lockout, or shut down entirely — leaving you with no cooling or heating. Common failure symptoms include the outdoor unit humming with no fan movement, intermittent operation in hot weather, or a seized motor that is hot to the touch.

• Specs: 1/12 HP | 1100 RPM | 208/230V, 60 Hz, 1-Phase | 0.50 Amps | CW Rotation (shaft side) | Frame 48 | 1/2" × 1-1/2" Shaft | Sleeve Bearing | Through-Bolt Mounting | OEM Part # HC31GE234 (superseded by HB32GR234)
• OEM vs Generic: This OEM motor is wound and balanced to Carrier's exact factory tolerances — ensuring correct RPM, rotation direction, and amp draw from day one. Generic aftermarket motors may vary in shaft length, rotation, or amp rating, risking fan blade contact, premature bearing failure, or nuisance tripping of thermal overload protection.
• Install Difficulty: 3/5 — Disconnect and lock out power before beginning. Discharge the run capacitor. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, wire stripper, multimeter. Note the rotation direction and wire colors before disconnecting the old motor. It is strongly recommended to replace the run capacitor simultaneously — a weak capacitor is a leading cause of motor failure and will shorten the life of a new motor.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
