Overview
This OEM 1/4 HP condenser fan motor (part number 1177473) drives the outdoor fan blade on the Tempstar TXA660GKA100 unit, pulling air across the condenser coil to reject heat during the cooling cycle. Adequate airflow is critical: a failing fan motor causes the unit to overheat, raises head pressure, trips the high-pressure switch, and can ultimately damage the compressor. Rated at 1/4 horsepower, this direct-drive motor is matched to the unit's airflow and electrical requirements. Typical failure signs include a humming motor that won't spin, a fan that spins slowly or stops while running, hot or noisy bearings, and a unit that trips on high pressure or thermal overload after a few minutes of operation.

Compatibility
Direct OEM replacement for the Tempstar TXA660GKA100 condensing unit. This 1/4 HP motor is also used on comparable ICP-family outdoor units (Heil, Comfortmaker, Tempstar). Confirm horsepower, shaft size, rotation, and mounting before installing, and reuse a properly rated run capacitor.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and breaker; verify zero voltage with a multimeter and discharge the run capacitor.
- Access — Remove the top fan grille / service panel to access the motor and fan blade.
- Document — Photograph the wiring and note the fan blade position and orientation on the shaft.
- Remove — Loosen the blade set screw and pull the blade; disconnect motor leads and unbolt the old motor from its bracket.
- Install — Mount the new motor, transfer the fan blade at the same depth/orientation, and reconnect leads (including the capacitor) per your photo.
- Test — Restore power and call for cooling; verify the fan spins up to full speed in the correct direction.

- Fan motor hums but the blade won't spin or needs a push to start
