Overview
This genuine OEM 1/4 HP condenser fan motor (OEM part number 1186966) is the factory replacement for the Tempstar TSA560GKA101 outdoor unit. The condenser fan motor drives the blade that pulls air across the outdoor coil, rejecting the heat the system absorbs indoors. Without proper airflow, head pressure climbs, the compressor overheats, and cooling capacity collapses. This 1/4 HP motor is sized to match the original equipment's RPM, rotation, and frame so it bolts in as a direct replacement. A failing fan motor typically runs hot, gets noisy, draws high amps, or stops entirely — often tripping the compressor on a high-pressure or overload fault. Replacing it restores correct heat rejection and protects the compressor from premature failure.

Compatibility
Direct OEM fit for the Tempstar TSA560GKA101 condensing unit. This 1186966 motor is shared across comparable ICP-family condensers (Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker). Confirm horsepower, voltage, rotation, and shaft diameter against your existing motor before installing, and reuse a matching run capacitor if required.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the top grille/fan assembly screws and lift the fan shroud clear of the cabinet.
- Document — Photograph the wiring, capacitor leads, and blade position/spacing on the shaft before disconnecting.
- Remove — Loosen the blade set screw and pull the blade, then unbolt the old motor from the mount and disconnect its leads.
- Install — Mount the new motor, transfer the blade to the same depth, and reconnect the leads and run capacitor per your photo.
- Test — Restore power and confirm the fan spins in the correct direction (drawing air up through the coil) and runs quietly.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Outdoor fan won't start or only spins when pushed by hand
- Loud grinding, humming, or squealing bearings
- Motor runs hot and cycles off on thermal overload
