Heil Quaker ICP 1053217 Motor

The Heil Quaker ICP 1053217 Motor is a high-performance direct drive PSC condenser fan motor engineered for demanding outdoor environments. This 1/8 HP OEM replacement motor operates at 208-230V and a nominal speed of 840 RPM, providing the consistent torque required for efficient heat exchange in residential and light commercial condensing units. As a two speed HVAC motor, it offers versatility for systems requiring multi-stage airflow control to optimize seasonal performance. Built on a standard 48 NEMA frame size with a sleeve bearing design, this motor is specifically designated for clockwise (CW) rotation when viewed from the lead end.

For a successful field installation, confirm the band mount configuration and 5/8 inch shaft diameter match the existing fan blade assembly. This Permanent Split Capacitor motor requires a 5 MFD at 370 VAC run capacitor for proper startup and thermal protection. Professional technicians should always inspect the fan blade for balance issues and replace the capacitor during motor swaps to prevent premature winding failure and ensure the steady 0.8 amp draw remains within nameplate specifications across both speeds.

• Genuine OEM Compatibility: Engineered as a direct drop-in for ICP standard condenser units, including Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker models.
• Dual-Speed Efficiency: Supports advanced system logic for quieter operation and improved humidity control during low-stage cooling.
• Industrial Build Quality: Features a thermally protected Class B insulation rating to withstand high ambient temperatures in the condenser housing.
• Precise Fitment: The 48Y frame and sleeve bearing construction provide a reliable mechanical footprint for replacement condenser fan motors.

Is this motor reversible?
No, this unit is fixed for clockwise (CW) rotation from the lead end. Always verify the pitch of your fan blades before installation to ensure proper airflow direction away from the coil.

Do I need to replace the capacitor with this motor?
Yes. To maintain peak efficiency and prevent overheating, it is an industry best practice to install a new 5 MFD / 370V capacitor. An aged capacitor can cause the motor to hum or trip the internal thermal overload.

Will this work for a 1/4 HP application?
No. This is a 1/8 HP motor. Undersizing the horsepower will lead to excessive amperage draw, overheating, and rapid motor failure under load.
