OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor 1/4 HP 208-230V 1100 RPM for Model PH13NR048000AFAA

This OEM condenser fan motor (part number HC39GE237, also cross-references HC38GE231) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH13NR048000AFAA heat pump condenser unit. The condenser fan motor drives the fan blade that pulls air across the outdoor coil, dissipating heat during cooling and absorbing it during heating. When this motor fails, symptoms include the outdoor unit running but producing no conditioned air, the system short-cycling on high-pressure lockout, or a seized or humming fan that won't spin — all of which can quickly damage the compressor if left unaddressed.

• Specs: 1/4 HP | 208-230V | 1100 RPM | 48Y Frame | 5 5/8" diameter | 1.5" shaft extension | 3-wire | CW rotation (lead end) | Single phase | 60 Hz | Requires 5 MFD / 370V run capacitor
• OEM vs Generic: This OEM unit is wound and balanced to factory tolerances, ensuring correct airflow CFM across the condenser coil. Generic aftermarket motors can run off-spec RPM, reducing system efficiency and stressing the compressor — especially critical in a heat pump operating in both heating and cooling modes.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Disconnect power and discharge any capacitor before beginning. Tools needed: 5/16" and 3/8" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter, and blade puller (recommended). Always photograph wire routing and fan blade pitch before removal. Replace the run capacitor at the same time to prevent premature motor failure from an out-of-tolerance capacitor.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock — ships same business day from our warehouse.
