What HP motor do I need for my Tempstar unit?

The correct replacement for Tempstar model T2A318GKD100 — 1/12 HP | Ships Today is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications. Using a part with different specifications can cause equipment damage or void your warranty. You can verify this by checking the data plate on your Tempstar equipment which lists the model number T2A318GKD100 — 1/12 HP | Ships Today.

My AC fan is not spinning. What part do I need?

A fan that does not spin, spins slowly, or makes grinding or squealing noises needs a new motor. Grinding means the bearings have failed. Squealing means the bearings are dry. No spin with a humming sound means the capacitor may be the issue. Check the motor capacitor before replacing the entire motor.

Is this fan motor compatible with Bryant or Payne systems too?

Many Tempstar parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne systems since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across multiple brand labels with different model numbers. To verify cross-compatibility, check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or contact info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number for confirmation.

Overview

This OEM Tempstar Condenser Fan Motor (part 1177856) is a 1/12 HP outdoor fan motor that drives the condenser fan blade on your T2A318GKD100 unit, pulling air across the coil to reject heat. When this motor weakens or fails, head pressure climbs, cooling capacity drops, the compressor can overheat and trip on high-pressure or thermal protection, and you may hear bearing noise or notice the fan running slow or not at all. A correct OEM 1/12 HP replacement restores proper airflow and protects the rest of the system from heat-related damage.
