Condenser fan motor substitute
I have a very old carrier condenser. I need a replacement fan motor. The current motor is a 5kcp39bg GE unit with the following specs:
RPM = 1100 HP= 1/10 HZ = 60 u = 208-230. A= .75 Rot Cap = 5.00/370. What I am finding is no one has a direct replacement. Several mention using another horsepower motor but then the amps are different. What would be "safe" to use if having to go up in horsepower/amps? Also, my motor mounts to the top of the condenser lid with acorn nuts. Do any of the above numbers show the fit or proper spacing of the studs? Thanks for any help you can provide. |

Stryped,
Here's a replacement http://www.amazon.com/GE-5KCP39BGK335S/dp/B00413AT2Q It's pricey but should be a drop-in replacement. Google has lots of these. Do a little research to find a better price. I'm amazed that your local appliance parts store can't help you out. The same starter cap should be ok. No idea about your "acorn nuts" question but I doubt any part of the model number speaks about motor mounting. Dave M. |

None of the numbers show the mounting . The Rot. Cap=500/370 is the
capacitor for the motor. Are you sure it is the motor and not the capacitor ? The capacitor s often go bad more so than the actual motor. If you do change the motor make sure you get a capacitor to match the motor. The rating on the capacitor is 5 MFD with a voltage of 370 volts. YOu can and maybe should use one with a rating of 440 volts. wrote in message ... I have a very old carrier condenser. I need a replacement fan motor.

I say "almost certainly", because technically we don't know what's supplying the current to run the motor. It's usually driven right off the contactor/relay which could handle a bigger motor. The current isn't going to be drastically different anyway, because the actual load determines most of it and that isn't changing, ie it's still the same fan moving at same RPM. The mounting locations are determined by the frame size. Whether it has studs coming out, which is what you want, you may be able to figure out from pics. I was having the same issue when trying to figure out how they mount to replace mine. That mounting is common for condenser fan motors and if you google and search for that you will find them. As others have said, make sure you get a new cap as per the reqts of the new motor, not old one. And also, as someone said, it's possible your motor is OK and it's just the cap, which is a common failure. I'd google to find the major motor manufacturers, then go to their website/catalogs, look for condenser fan motors and see what they have. Once you have a couple part numbers, you can google for the best prices. |

The mountings are usually standardized. Make sure you get the correct direction of rotation... that was probably ROT = CCW or CW some replacment motors can be wired for either CCW or CW. THe fan will not work correctly if it is spinning the wrong way, and no you cannot simply mount the fan upside down to correct it. Mark |

If he's buying a motor intended for condenser fans, they typically have a long one so that shouldn't be a problem, but just in case..... |

When I took the fann off, I could reproduce the sound by spinning it by hand. I assume bad bearings. |

Do any of the above numbers show the fit or proper spacing of the studs? Thanks for any help you can provide. Here in Birmingham, there are two electric motor shops with a service counter where you walk in with your fan motor mounted to the grill or top of your AC condensing unit and you give it to the customer service rep behind the counter where he will pick out a replacement motor and new capacitor plus a fan blade if yours is damaged. The assembly is given to a bench tech who will remove the fan blade without damaging it, remove and replace the motor on the grill assembly, cut the shaft to length, put the blade on and test the new motor and capacitor including setting the correct rotation. If you pick a motor that has a higher rpm, you'll need to get a fan blade with less of a pitch angle than that on the slower motor you're replacing. The high pitch angle on the low rpm motors is meant to move a sufficient amount of air while making less noise than the higher rpm motor. If you keep the high pitch fan blade you must increase the horse power of your replacement motor. Most cities have one or more electric motor shops with a walk in service counter. Here's a link to a chart that will show you how to match a blade to a motor's HP and RPM. ^_^ Oh yea, someone may have already mentioned using a replacement capacitor with a higher voltage rating. Replace a 370 volt with a 440 volt capacitor because they're more resistant to power surges. It's a very good idea to replace the capacitor when the motor is replaced because a new capacitor is not that expensive. If you think about it, that capacitor is just as old as the motor and has suffered the same amount of abuse. ^_^ http://fergusonhvacchicago.com/2012/...ize-the-motor/ [8~{} Uncle Motor Monster |

I fix pump motors all the time and I keep a bunch of the common bearings here. Yea, but you and I have the tools and experience to do that sort of thing. I agree with you on the pump motors especially if they have ball bearings but most consumer grade condenser fan motors have sleeve bearings which tend to damage the shaft when the bearings fail. By the time a service tech gets to a customer's home or the customer notices the problem, the shaft is pretty well damaged. I've changed the sleeve bearings on my own motors but not for a customer because it would be hard to guarantee and a quality new motor usually has a 1 year warranty. One thing I did do for commercial customers was to install long lived ball bearing condenser fan motors in their rooftop units because those AC units are mission critical, especially for a restaurant. The largest motor I ever pulled was a 60 hp 3 phase motor on an open drive Carrier AC compressor which required an engine hoist to remove it in order to load it on a truck for a trip to the rewind shop. That was a fun job for me and my brother. ** [8~{} Uncle Motor Monster |

I'd fix them to stay fixed when a lot of service techs would do the minimum amount of work to get a unit going thinking they would make more money if the unit broke down more often. One of the guys I work with on telecom and data systems refuses to install protectors on the phone lines believing that he'll get more business when storms move in to the area and lightning damages the equipment. The only problem with that way of thinking is that so many systems can be knocked out at the same time that he can't get to all of them and the customer calls someone else and he winds up losing a customer. If your're interested, I can tel you about modifications me and my brother came up with to make electrical, computer, telecom/data and HVAC systems more reliable.

I'm referring to long time commercial customers who trusted me and called me and my guys for everything. We never advertised or went looking for work, it found us.

We had to remove the coil in order to remove and replace the compressor which was a great deal of fun getting up on the flat roof. We were very meticulous in rebuilding that system including the time we removed the evaporator coil from the air handler and turned it around so there was better access to the connections. The system had originally been installed by another company and it took a good bit of TLC to straighten out the sloppy work which led to the compressor failure. That system has been running trouble free for 4 years now and if I could walk/climb, the only thing I'd need to do to it would be to clean it. I'm going to have to train someone who's able bodied on how the clean AC units with my foam gun. That was pretty much the last job our friend GB was involved with before he passed away. Crooks really make the honest service guys angry and those thieves tend to target older folks. Me and my brother were tempted to disassemble a smart ass who was laughing about how he sold an old couple a completely new system when the only thing wrong with their existing system was a loose blower compartment door which killed the power to their AC. We've also been to depositions were we told of how we repaired sabotaged AC's belonging to older folks.

I end up smoking about 3 cigars a year and I will smoke a cigarette if that is what everyone else is doing but I usually don't feel the need to fit in that much. It is true that smokers, as a group, seem to be having more fun. I certainly do not crave it and never have but I have a pretty good ability to walk away from anything. Never tried heroin tho.

That's not going to have a NEMA frame; it's a vendor-specific mount for the purpose. He'll probably have to adapt something if can't find the OEM replacement. -- I have to disagree. I replaced mine a couple months ago. As I recall it was identified by frame size and it wasn't vendor specific. Many of them are interchangeable. In my case I had a Rheem AC and replaced a fancy ECM motor with a basic split phase. Both had identical mounting studs, with nuts that go on from the top of the fan housing. I suppose I stand corrected... I guess should've figured there are standardized mounting configurations for those as well given the volume produced, although seems like I never can find anything that fits whatever it is that _I_ have... -- |

Hell, I was an adult before I found out that my mother had chained smoked while me and my brother were in the womb. I went cold turkey at the age of one day and I was thought to be a colicky baby when I was actually crying for a nicotine fix. Exposing an unborn child to that horrible drug is one of the worst forms of child abuse but I can't hate my parents for it because no one knew any better back in the middle of the last century but there is no excuse today. As allergic as I am to tobacco smoke, I support the right of "adults" to indulge in any body or mind destroying substance or activity they wish to as long as they never harm anyone else because of their habits. Go smoke yourself to death but away from me. (๏̯͡๏) |

Now there's a great idea. When will we learn about the failure of "prohibition"? I've heard that the cigarette tax in New York is so high that New Yorkers go to the Indian reservation to purchase cigarettes tax free. Perhaps a smoky fraker from New York could chime in a tell everyone of his/hers/its experience with being a smoker in New York City? \_(*_*)_/ [8~{} Uncle Stinky Monster |
