Common Questions:

Is this a universal motor or a direct OEM replacement?
This is a genuine Trane MOT18917 OEM motor. Unlike universal motors, it matches the exact electrical lead colors, shaft dimensions, and capacitor requirements of your original Trane equipment.

What capacitor is required for this 1/8 HP motor?
As a 200-230V 825 RPM motor, it requires a specific run capacitor (typically 5 MFD/370V, though you should verify the label on the existing unit). Replacing the capacitor during the motor swap is recommended to ensure proper starting torque.

Will this motor fit a standard 48 frame mount?
Yes, the 48 frame size is a standard in the industry, but as an OEM part, it is specifically balanced for Trane fan blade pitches to prevent vibration and premature bearing wear.
