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

The OEM condenser fan motor (part #1177913) is the outdoor fan motor for your Tempstar T4H342GKE100 heat pump. This motor drives the condenser fan blade that moves air across the outdoor coil — rejecting heat in cooling mode and absorbing heat in heating mode. Rated at approximately 1/4 HP and 230 volts single-phase, it is the exact factory-spec replacement for this unit. A failing condenser fan motor is a leading cause of a heat pump that runs but won't cool or heat. Common symptoms include a fan that won't spin, a motor that hums but won't turn, high-pressure trips, or a motor running hot and cycling on its internal overload.
