OEM Carrier Condenser Fan Motor 1/3 HP 1100 RPM for Model PY1PPA048100AGBA

This is the OEM factory-specified condenser fan motor for the Carrier PY1PPA048100AGBA packaged unit. The condenser fan motor drives the outdoor fan blade to pull air across the condenser coil, dissipating heat so the refrigerant can properly condense. When this motor fails, you'll typically experience the system shutting down on high-pressure lockout, the outdoor fan not spinning while the compressor hums, or visible overheating of the condenser section. Replacing it with the correct OEM part ensures factory-matched performance and longevity.

• Specs: 1/3 HP | 1100 RPM | 208-230V | PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) | OEM Part# HC41AE232 | Supersedes P257-3458HS — verify your unit's data plate for confirmation
• OEM vs Generic: This OEM motor is wound and balanced to Carrier factory tolerances. Generic motors often differ in RPM accuracy, bearing grade, and thermal protection thresholds, leading to shorter service life and potential compressor damage from poor heat rejection.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Disconnect and lock out power before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, multimeter, wire strippers, blade screwdriver. Always discharge the run capacitor before touching motor terminals, and photograph all wiring connections before removal. Note correct fan blade pitch and rotation direction before reinstalling.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse. Replacing the run capacitor at the same time is strongly recommended — a capacitor out of tolerance is a leading cause of premature motor failure.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY1PPA048100AGBA packaged unit (4-ton, 100,000 BTU gas heat). Always cross-reference the motor HP, RPM, voltage, and rotation direction on your unit's data plate before ordering. Have a question about fitment?
