Tempstar 1/4 HP Condenser Fan Motor for T4H348GKD100 — OEM 1177473 | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM 1/4 HP condenser fan motor (part number 1177473) for the Tempstar T4H348GKD100. The condenser fan motor drives the outdoor fan blade that pulls air across the condenser coil, rejecting heat from the refrigerant. A failing motor leads to high head pressure, poor cooling, compressor overheating, and eventual system shutdown. This 1/4 HP replacement restores correct airflow and protects the compressor from heat-related damage.
