What HP motor do I need for my Tempstar unit?

The correct replacement for Tempstar model TSH548HKA100 — 1/4 HP 825 RPM | 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 TSH548HKA100 — 1/4 HP 825 RPM | 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 the OEM condenser fan motor (part #1184599) for the Tempstar TSH548HKA100 heat pump/condensing unit. Rated at 1/4 HP and 825 RPM, this PSC condenser fan motor drives the outdoor fan blade that pulls air across the condenser coil to reject heat from the refrigerant. Operating on 208/230V, it is a totally enclosed, ball-bearing motor built for continuous outdoor duty. When this motor fails, the compressor may run while the outdoor fan sits still, causing the unit to overheat, trip on high pressure, and shut down on a hot day. Common failure signs include a humming motor that won't start, a fan that spins slowly or seizes, or a burnt-electrical smell at the condenser.
