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. Use the capacitor rating listed 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.
