Carrier LA01EA122 Fan Blade

The Carrier LA01EA122 Fan Blade is a precision-engineered OEM replacement condenser fan designed for high-performance heat dissipation in Carrier, Bryant, and Payne outdoor units. Featuring a 22-inch diameter and a 21-degree pitch, this 3-blade propeller is optimized to move significant air volume while maintaining low noise profiles during high-static operation. The assembly is built with a 1/2" bore on the intake side and is designed for clockwise (CW) rotation, ensuring a direct fit for 1/2" motor shafts commonly found in residential and light commercial condensing units.

For technicians performing a condenser fan motor repair, matching the exact pitch and diameter is critical to prevent motor overloading or reduced subcooling efficiency. The Carrier LA01EA122 utilizes a robust spider and blade design to handle the RPM requirements of standard 1075 or 825 RPM motors. Using this genuine Carrier fan blade ensures the system operates within original factory airflow specifications, preserving the integrity of the compressor and the overall refrigeration cycle.

Key Benefits

• Exact OEM Specifications: 22" diameter and 21° pitch ensure the Carrier LA01EA121 replacement maintains factory-designed CFM output.
• Durability: Engineered for outdoor environments to resist corrosion and structural fatigue under high-torque starts.
• Vibration Control: Factory balanced to reduce stress on condenser fan motor bearings and minimize cabinet rattle.
• Simplified Installation: Standard 1/2 inch bore with intake-side hub alignment facilitates a quick swap-out during emergency service calls.

Common Questions

How do I confirm the rotation of my existing fan blade?
Rotation is determined by looking at the discharge side of the blade. The Carrier LA01EA122 is a CW rotation fan blade, meaning it turns clockwise when air is being pulled through the coil and pushed out the top of the unit.

Will this work if my motor has a 5/8" shaft?
No, this blade is specifically machined for a 1/2" bore. Attempting to modify the hub will compromise the balance and safety of the assembly. Always verify the motor shaft diameter before ordering.

Can I use a different pitch blade if this one is out of stock?
Changing the pitch from the original 21 degrees will alter the amp draw on your HVAC condenser motor. A higher pitch can lead to motor burnout, while a lower pitch will reduce airflow and increase head pressure. Sticking to the LA01EA122 specs is recommended for system longevity.
