This 1/5 HP condenser fan motor operates on 208-230V and has a rated current of 1.1A, ensuring reliable power to keep your condenser unit running efficiently. It runs on single-phase power at 60Hz for 1/5 HP output or 50Hz for 1/6 HP output; therefore, it is a good fit for regular household and light-business HVAC systems. The dual-speed design of 1075/900 RPM allows the motor to vary airflow in response to system demand without an external speed controller.
The higher RPM is maintained at peak cooling loads, while the lower setting is quieter in calmer conditions. The YDK150-6F36 is designed to OEM standards for factory-level quality as a direct drop-in replacement. The swap can be done solo, and at only 9.26 lbs and 4.88 x 4.88 x 6.71 inches, you can do it alone.
Inside this motor, a pure copper coil carries the electrical load, providing better conductivity and heat dissipation than cheaper aluminum equivalents. Copper windings can run continuously without overheating, which immediately increases the motor's life, even in hot summer temperatures. Stainless steel bearings resist corrosion and keep the shaft rotating smoothly and quietly for thousands of hours of operation.
These material choices are critical in outdoor condenser systems, where the motor is continuously exposed to moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations year-round. Stainless steel bearings won’t corrode or seize the shaft, especially in humid or coastal locations where lesser bearings tend to fail within a year or two. The combination reduces unexpected failures and greatly increases the interval between complete motor replacements.
This 1/5 hp condenser fan motor is reversible for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, making it compatible with condenser systems that use either rotation direction. No need to check rotation before you order; connect it for the direction your system needs when you install it. The 42Y frame is a typical HVAC motor size; the bolt pattern and mounting dimensions will fit most existing condenser brackets without modification.
The shaft is 2 inches long and 0.5 inches in diameter, fitting the requirements of standard condenser fan blades from most major brands. A reversible rotation and standard frame eliminate the guesswork of what is normally the most difficult portion of a motor repair. You can remove the previous unit, install this one in the same position, and wire it up without any changes to the housing or fan assembly.
When a 1/5 hp condenser fan motor fails, the run capacitor is usually replaced at the same time, or the new motor will fail prematurely. This product includes one explosion-resistant capacitor pre-matched to the motor's electrical standards. So you have everything for a complete replacement in one box. The capacitor helps ensure a rapid, dependable start every time your system cycles on, reducing stress on the windings from day one.
One of the most common mistakes during HVAC repair is not replacing the capacitor with the motor, which can cause the new motor to burn out much sooner than it should. Bundling together the two parts eliminates that danger and saves you the hassle of sourcing a matching capacitor yourself. You reduce sourcing time, prevent mismatched parts, and get the system back up and running in one step.
The motor is fitted with a 47-inch lead wire that you may cut to whatever length your particular installation demands for a clean, tight connection. The longer lead wire lets you route leads within the condenser cabinet without splicing extensions or creating awkward joints. This is especially useful on older systems, where the original wiring path may be a little circuitous from the motor to the terminal block.
Cut-to-length wiring eliminates motor area clutter, improves internal airflow, and reduces the risk of unsecured wiring contacting the fan blade during operation. You won’t be pulling the connections tight or working with wire lines that barely reach the terminals. The 47 inches of lead wire will reach easily in either a compact residential unit or a larger light commercial unit.
This 1/5 hp condenser fan motor comes with overload protection and an automatic reset to shield it against electrical surges, voltage spikes, and high current draw during storms or peak grid demand. If the motor experiences a temporary overload, it shuts off to protect internal components and then turns back on when conditions are normal. This self-resetting safety feature ensures you do not have to intervene each time a power incident manually trips the motor.
The motor has Class B insulation and can operate at ambient temperatures up to 40°C, which covers the vast majority of outdoor operating conditions throughout North America. Rain, direct sunlight, and seasonal temperature variations will not affect its long-term effectiveness. This motor is interchangeable with a wide variety of existing units, including several Lennox, Interlink, and Emerson models. It replaces part numbers such as 12Y75, 97M49, 100483-02, and 43W49.
