ICP Condenser Fan Motor for WPA4424000RKA1 — 1/5 HP | Ships Today

Overview

This is the OEM condenser fan motor (Part #1186359) for the ICP WPA4424000RKA1 outdoor unit. Rated at 1/5 HP, this motor spins the outdoor fan blade that pulls air across the condenser coil to reject heat from the refrigerant. When the condenser fan motor fails, the system loses its ability to dissipate heat — leading to high head pressure, compressor overheating, tripped breakers, and eventual compressor damage. Symptoms include a fan that won't spin, a fan that hums but doesn't turn, or a motor that runs hot and shuts down on thermal overload. Replacing a failing fan motor promptly protects the much more expensive compressor.

Compatibility

Direct factory replacement for the ICP WPA4424000RKA1 condenser. The WPA platform is shared across the ICP brand family — Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, Arcoaire, and KeepRite. Reuse your existing fan blade and capacitor unless they are also damaged, and confirm shaft size and rotation match before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the top grille/fan shroud assembly from the condenser.
3. Document — Photograph the motor wiring and capacitor connections before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Loosen the set screw and pull the fan blade, then unbolt the old motor from the shroud.
5. Install — Mount the new motor, reinstall the blade at the correct height, and wire per your photo.
6. Test — Restore power, call for cooling, and confirm the fan spins freely in the correct direction.
