What HP motor do I need for my Tempstar unit?

The correct replacement for Tempstar model T4A460GKD100 — 1/4 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 T4A460GKD100 — 1/4 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 genuine OEM 1/4 HP condenser fan motor (part number 1177473) is the factory replacement for the Tempstar T4A460GKD100 condensing unit. The condenser fan motor drives the fan blade that pulls outdoor air across the condenser coil, rejecting the heat removed from your home. When it fails, the unit loses its ability to dissipate heat — head pressures climb, cooling capacity drops, and the compressor can overheat and trip on its internal overload. A worn motor often runs hot, hums without spinning, or seizes entirely. Installing the correct OEM 1/4 HP motor restores proper airflow and protects the compressor.

Installation Guide

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