Replacing a condenser fan motor
Match the horsepower, voltage, RPM, rotation and shaft size to the original motor, and confirm the mounting style fits the fan guard or bracket. Install a new run capacitor rated for this motor, since a worn capacitor shortens the life of a new motor. With power off at the disconnect, transfer the fan blade at the same height on the shaft so airflow through the coil stays the same.
