OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor 1/12 HP 800 RPM 208/230V for Model PH15NB02400GBBAA

This OEM condenser fan motor (part number HC31GE229) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH15NB02400GBBAA heat pump condensing unit. Manufactured by GE for Carrier, this motor drives the condenser fan blade that expels heat from the refrigerant coil. When the motor fails, the outdoor unit will stop moving air — causing the system to overheat, trip on high-pressure lockout, or short-cycle with little to no cooling or heating output. A seized or humming condenser fan motor is the most common sign of failure and requires prompt replacement to prevent compressor damage.

• Specs: 1/12 HP | 800 RPM | 208/230 VAC | 0.50 A | 60 Hz | 1-Phase | Frame 48Y (5-5/8" diameter) | 2" shaft | Counter-clockwise rotation (shaft up) | 3-wire
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier/GE OEM motor wound to exact factory tolerances. Aftermarket motors often differ in RPM calibration or bearing grade, leading to shortened service life, vibration, and voided equipment warranties.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Disconnect power at the breaker before starting. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, wire stripper, multimeter, and a buddy to safely lift the fan grille assembly. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Always replace the run capacitor at the same time — a weak capacitor is a leading cause of premature motor failure.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.
