Carrier HB33GQ230 Motor

The Carrier HB33GQ230 is a high-performance condenser fan motor designed for critical cooling in residential and light commercial HVAC units. Operating at 208-230V with a 1/10 HP rating and 1100 RPM, this motor is a direct replacement for HC33GE235. As an OEM Carrier motor (manufactured by US Motors/Nidec, Part #K55HXKRR-3368), it features a rugged 48Y frame and a 1/2-inch by 2-inch single-side flat shaft. This clockwise-rotation (CW) motor is thermally protected and uses ball bearings to handle air-over continuous duty cycles. To maintain system HVAC efficiency and prevent premature failure, technicians should verify the condition of the fan blade and match this motor with a 5 MFD at 370 VAC run capacitor. Reliable HVAC replacement parts like the HB33GQ230 ensure your condensing unit motor provides the necessary airflow to keep refrigerant pressures within factory specifications.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced Durability: Equipped with ball bearings and a thermally protected motor housing designed for continuous, high-ambient outdoor operation.
• Standardized Specs: Features a common 1/2-inch shaft diameter and 1100 RPM speed to maintain original airflow performance and heat transfer rates.
• Broad Compatibility: Fits a wide range of Carrier, Bryant, and Payne AC and heat pump models, including the 24AAA and 113A series.

Common Questions

Is the HB33GQ230 an exact replacement for my old HC33GE235?
Yes, the Carrier HB33GQ230 is the factory-authorized successor to the HC33GE235. It maintains the same 208-230V, 1/10 HP, and 1100 RPM specifications for a drop-in installation.

What capacitor is required for this 1/10 HP motor?
This motor is a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) design that requires a 5 MFD at 370 VAC run capacitor (sold separately). Replacing the capacitor during motor installation is recommended to ensure optimal torque and winding life.

How do I confirm the rotation of my existing motor?
The HB33GQ230 is Clockwise (CW) rotation when viewed from the lead end. Always check the pitch of your fan blade and the rotation of the original motor before powering the system.
