OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor 1/12 HP 800 RPM for Model PH15NB01800GBBAA

This OEM condenser fan motor (part number HC31GE229) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH15NB01800GBBAA heat pump outdoor unit. Manufactured by GE specifically for Carrier, this motor spins the condenser fan blade that dissipates heat from the refrigerant coil. When it fails, you'll notice the outdoor unit running with no airflow over the coil, the system tripping on high-pressure lockout, or the compressor overheating and shutting down entirely. In some cases the motor hums without spinning — a classic capacitor-or-motor failure signature. Note: HC31GE229 has been superseded by OEM replacement HB32GR229 / HB32GQ230, which carries the same factory specifications and is fully interchangeable.

• Specs: 1/12 HP | 800 RPM | 208/230 VAC | 0.50 A | 60 Hz | 1-Phase | Frame 48Y (5-5/8" diameter) | Shaft: 2" extension | Rotation: Counterclockwise (shaft up) | 3-wire
• OEM vs Generic: This is a factory-authorized GE/Carrier OEM motor wound to exact HP, RPM, and thermal protection specs. Generic aftermarket motors often run off-spec RPM, reducing airflow efficiency and shortening compressor life — especially critical in heat pump applications like the PH15NB01800GBBAA.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Shut off power at the disconnect before starting. Tools needed: 5/16" and 3/8" nut drivers, wire stripper, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring before disconnecting. Always replace the run capacitor simultaneously — a worn capacitor is frequently the root cause of motor failure and will kill a new motor prematurely if left in place.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.
