HC37GE210A - Carrier OEM Upgraded Replacement Condenser Fan Motor 1/5 HP 230 Volts

I waited three weeks and received one with defect, then another three weeks, I received one which was not the same as my order.

The photo shows my original motor on the left with the replacement on the right. Also in the photo is the shipping box which was well padded.Before ordering, I read reviews noting concerns about the fan shaft length, but this was no problem on my replacement and equaled that of the original. I did find that the insulation on the wiring was of smaller diameter than the original and yes, the length was considerably different; however, it did work on my Carrier unit but was at the limit (color coding was the same as the original). I just cut the wiring within a few inches of my original motor and left the ends connected to make it easy to connect the new wiring one wire at a time or use as added length if necessary.Original wiring: Black-39", Brown-42", Yellow-44" Replacement wiring: Black-39", Brown and Yellow-28"Bottom line: the price was good, shipping was two days which was a plus during the heat that we are experiencing and it is running without a problem. Of course, mine just went out two days ago and I just completed installing the replacement. Note: Save the nuts that attach the grill to the motor for use on the replacement.

This motor was the exact same part number as my old one however the wires on this one were much smaller and not as long. This required me to splice in extensions in order for the brown and yellow wires to reach the capacitor. I would have just pulled the old one apart and used the wiring from it but it was not interested in coming apart at all. The nuts securing the old unit to the fan cage were rusted and seized onto the tiny threaded bolts so all 4 of those snapped off. You will likely need new #10-24 nuts to secure this new motor as it does not include new ones. I’m a little concerned that the wiring on this unit is not nearly as beefy or the proper length as the wiring on the old one but we’ll see how it holds up.

Very easy to install works great. This puppy had our house cool again in no time.For everyone concerned about the wire, for mine AC it appears to be the same gauge, 18, only the insulation isn’t as thick as the OEM wiring. The copper appears to be the same diameter and is actually stiffer than the OEM strands.For some reason the brown and yellow wires are shorter than black. On my Payne unit this meant that I had to extend those two. I’d like to give it 5 stars, but the missing 12” of wire takes the ease of install from 5 stars to 4.

Be aware, this is totally different than what it is shown on Amazon website, the wires are much smaller than OEM likely less than 1/2 the diameter, the length also is significantly less than OEM, cannot install in my air-conditioned, so I have to return to Amazon, BTW, Amazon should not allow this type of product to sell to customer,
