Overview
This OEM condenser fan motor (part number 1184599) drives the outdoor fan that pulls air across the condenser coil in your Tempstar TCH648GKA100, rejecting heat from the refrigerant. It is rated at 1/4 HP and 825 RPM. When the condenser fan motor fails, head pressure climbs, the compressor overheats and trips on its internal overload, and cooling capacity drops or stops entirely. A motor that hums but won't spin, spins slowly, runs hot, or has noisy/seized bearings is at the end of its life. Replacing it promptly protects the much more expensive compressor from heat damage.

Compatibility
Direct OEM replacement for the Tempstar TCH648GKA100 condensing unit. This 1/4 HP 825 RPM condenser fan motor is used across comparable ICP-family outdoor units (Heil, Comfortmaker, Arcoaire). Confirm horsepower, RPM, rotation, shaft size, and voltage against your original motor, and reuse the matching run capacitor if it is in good condition.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter. Discharge the run capacitor before touching wiring.
- Access — Remove the top fan grille/shroud and lift the fan assembly out to reach the motor.
- Document — Photograph the motor wiring, capacitor connections, and the fan blade position on the shaft.
- Remove — Loosen the blade set screw and pull the blade, unbolt the motor from the bracket, and disconnect the leads.
- Install — Mount the new motor, transfer the fan blade to the same depth and orientation, and wire it to the capacitor and contactor per your photo.
- Test — Restore power and verify the fan spins up to speed in the correct direction and pulls air upward through the coil.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Outdoor fan won't turn, hums, or spins slowly
