What HP motor do I need for my Tempstar unit?

The correct replacement for Tempstar model T2A318GKD200 – 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 T2A318GKD200 – 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 is a genuine OEM 1/12 HP condenser fan motor (Part No. 1177856) for the Tempstar T2A318GKD200 outdoor unit. The condenser fan motor spins the outdoor fan blade to pull ambient air across the condenser coil, rejecting the heat the system absorbs indoors. Without adequate airflow, head pressure climbs, the compressor overheats, and the unit can trip on high-pressure or thermal overload. This motor is rated at 1/12 horsepower to match the factory airflow and amperage profile of the unit. A failing fan motor is a frequent cause of an outdoor unit that runs but does not cool well, overheats, or trips the breaker after a few minutes.

Compatibility

Built as the OEM-correct condenser fan motor for the Tempstar T2A318GKD200 air conditioning unit. The same 1/12 HP motor is used across many ICP-family condensers (Heil, Comfortmaker) of this size class. Confirm horsepower, shaft size, rotation, voltage, and mounting before installing, and reuse or match the original run capacitor.

Installation Guide

Safety First – Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
Access – Remove the top grille/fan assembly screws and lift the fan deck out of the cabinet.
Document – Photograph the motor wiring, capacitor leads, and blade position on the shaft.
Remove – Loosen the blade set screw, pull the blade, then unbolt the old motor from the bracket.
Install – Mount the new motor, reinstall the blade at the same height and orientation, and reconnect wiring per your photo.
Test – Restore power, call for cooling, and confirm the fan spins up to full speed in the correct direction.

Signs You Need a Replacement
