OEM Payne Condenser Fan Motor for Model PA13NR030000AAAA

This OEM condenser fan motor is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA13NR030000AAAA 2.5-ton split-system air conditioner. The condenser fan motor drives the outdoor fan blade to pull air across the condenser coil, dissipating heat from the refrigerant and allowing the system to cool effectively. When this motor fails, the outdoor unit will run briefly before tripping on high-pressure lockout, the compressor will overheat, or the fan blade will simply not spin — all resulting in a complete loss of cooling. Replaces OEM part numbers HC35GE237 and HC38GE231.

• Specs: 1/4 HP | 208-230V single-phase | 1,075 RPM | Permanently split capacitor (PSC) | 48-frame | Sleeve or ball bearing | Shaft size 1/2" diameter — verify rotation direction (CCW standard for condenser fan viewed from shaft end) on your existing motor's label before ordering
• OEM vs Generic: OEM motors are wound and balanced to exact factory specs, ensuring proper airflow, correct amp draw, and a longer service life. Generic motors often carry looser tolerance windings that can draw excess current, shortening both motor and compressor lifespan.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Disconnect power and verify capacitor is discharged before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, wire stripper, multimeter, and blade puller if fan blade is press-fit. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting leads. Match rotation and shaft orientation carefully.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed before 3 PM EST ship same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered for the Payne PA13NR030000AAAA 13 SEER R-22 split-system condenser. Always cross-reference HP, voltage, RPM, and rotation direction on the data plate of your existing motor before installing. If you have any fitment questions, our HVAC parts specialists are available to verify compatibility before you order — no guesswork required.
