Nordyne 621918 Motor
The Nordyne 621918 motor is a critical replacement for 1/5 HP residential and light commercial HVAC units, engineered specifically for high-demand condenser fan applications. Operating at 208/230V and a nominal 1075 RPM, this single-phase, 42-frame PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor ensures consistent airflow across the condenser coils to maintain optimal head pressure. As the authentic OEM replacement for 621918R and Y6S620C53, it features a 1.18-amp draw and a 1/2-inch diameter flat shaft, facilitating a direct mechanical fit without the need for mounting modifications or bracket adjustments. This HVAC condenser fan motor is thermally protected and designed for CWLE (Clockwise Lead End) rotation, providing the torque required to drive multi-blade fan assemblies in high-ambient environments.
Key Benefits
- Broad Compatibility: Functions as the factory-spec direct replacement motor for Nordyne, Intertherm, Miller, and Gibson equipment.
- Optimized Performance: Delivers 1/5 HP at 1075 RPM to provide precise CFM output for system cooling efficiency.
- Simplified Installation: Standard 42Y frame construction and lead configurations match original wiring harnesses, reducing field labor.
- Durable Construction: Features ball bearings and a TEAO (Totally Enclosed Air Over) enclosure to resist dust and moisture ingress during outdoor operation.
- Efficient Operation: PSC motor design minimizes amperage draw, reducing heat generation during continuous run cycles.
Common Questions
What capacitor is required for the Nordyne 621918?
This motor typically requires a 5 MFD / 370 VAC or 440 VAC run capacitor for proper operation. Always verify the rating on the existing capacitor or motor nameplate during service.
Can this motor replace a 1/8 HP model?
While the 621918 is often rated at 1/5 HP, it is the designated replacement for several older 1/8 HP Nordyne furnace motors and condenser units, providing the necessary torque for those applications.
What is the rotation direction of this unit?
This motor is CWLE (Clockwise Lead End). It is essential to verify that your fan blade pitch is compatible with clockwise rotation to ensure correct airflow direction through the condenser.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
I have a maytag 18000 btu split unit and the condenser fan motor is damage. wchpv-18kcr1 This is the model of the unit. I would like to know if this motor would work on it. I can’t find this part for that unit anywhere.
My rep is not able to ID that model number. It may be too old.
