What HP motor do I need for my Tempstar unit?

The correct replacement for Tempstar model TVA960GKA101 — 1/4 HP OEM Kit | 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 TVA960GKA101 — 1/4 HP OEM Kit | 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 OEM 1/4 HP condenser fan motor kit is the factory replacement for the Tempstar TVA960GKA101 heat pump. The kit includes the fan motor (OEM 1187928), the fan motor adapter (OEM 1188001), and the fan motor wiring harness assembly (OEM 1188022) so you have everything needed for a complete, correct replacement. The condenser fan motor drives the outdoor fan that pulls air across the coil to reject heat; when it fails the unit overheats, trips on high pressure, or stops cooling entirely. Typical failure symptoms include a fan that hums but won't spin, bearings that grind or squeal, intermittent shutdowns on hot days, and a motor that runs hot to the touch.
