Carrier LA01EW017 Fan Blade
The Carrier LA01EW017 Fan Blade is a precision-engineered OEM condenser fan replacement designed for high-efficiency thermal management in Carrier, Bryant, and Day & Night condensing units. This 4-blade aluminum fan features a 16.8-inch diameter and a steep 40-degree pitch, optimized to move high volumes of air while maintaining low static pressure. Built with a durable steel hub and a standard 1/2 inch bore, it secures firmly to the motor shaft via a heavy-duty set screw on the discharge side. A clockwise (CW) rotation ensures correct airflow direction, which is critical for preventing compressor overheating and maintaining system subcooling levels. As a Carrier factory authorized part, this component ensures exact dimensional matching for 38EN series units and similar residential split-system condensers. Replacing a warped or unbalanced blade with the LA01EW017 restores factory-spec CFM, reduces vibration-induced motor wear, and stabilizes head pressure during peak ambient conditions.
Key Benefits- Optimal Airflow: The 40-degree pitch and 4-blade configuration maximize heat dissipation across the condenser coil.
- Durable Construction: High-grade aluminum blades with a steel hub provide the necessary strength-to-weight ratio for long-term cycling.
- Precision Fit: The 1/2" bore size and 16.8" diameter ensure drop-in compatibility with original motor mounts and fan shrouds.
- Vibration Reduction: Factory-balanced design minimizes mechanical stress on the condenser fan motor bearings.
What is the rotation direction for the LA01EW017?
This fan blade is designed for clockwise (CW) rotation when viewing it from the hub side. Always verify your motor's rotation before installation to ensure the air is being pulled through or pushed out of the coil as intended by the equipment design.
Will this fit a standard 1/2-inch motor shaft?
Yes, the Carrier LA01EW017 features a 1/2 inch bore, which is the standard shaft size for most residential 1/4 to 1/2 HP condenser fan motors.
Is the set screw included with this fan blade?
Yes, this blade includes a pre-installed set screw on the center steel hub to provide a secure mechanical bond to the motor shaft.
