OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor 1/12 HP 800 RPM for Model PH4RNG018000BBAA

This OEM condenser fan motor is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH4RNG018000BBAA heat pump / condensing unit. Originally cataloged as HC31GE229 and manufactured by GE (Genteq), this motor drives the condenser fan blade that draws air across the refrigerant coil to dissipate heat. When the motor fails, the condenser loses airflow, refrigerant pressure climbs, and the system will trip on high-pressure lockout, short-cycle, or simply stop cooling altogether. A failed or seized condenser fan motor is one of the most common causes of a unit that runs but doesn't cool.

• Specs: 1/12 HP | 800 RPM | 208/230 VAC | 0.50 A | 60 Hz | 1-Phase | Frame 48Y (5-5/8" diameter) | Rotation: Counter-Clockwise (shaft up) | 3-wire leads
• OEM Part Numbers: HC31GE229 / HC31GE229A (superseded by HB32GR229, then HB32GQ230) | GE/Genteq cross-reference: 5KCP39EFY445AS | ICP/Heil/Tempstar cross-reference: 1173716
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM motor wound to exact factory tolerances for correct RPM, amperage draw, and thermal protection class. Aftermarket motors frequently run off-speed, stressing the compressor and shortening system life. Always replace the run capacitor simultaneously — an out-of-tolerance capacitor is the leading cause of premature motor failure.
• Install Difficulty: 3/5 — Disconnect and lock out power before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, wire stripper, multimeter, and needle-nose pliers. Photograph all wiring before disconnecting. Note fan blade pitch and orientation before removal; incorrect reinstallation reverses airflow. Capacitor replacement strongly recommended at same time.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse.
