York S1-024-40879-000 Motor

The York S1-024-40879-000 is an OEM York condenser fan motor engineered for specific integration within residential and commercial condensing units. This 1/4 HP HVAC motor operates at a fixed 850 RPM, utilizing a 230V single-phase power supply at 60Hz. Designed as a direct replacement for failing outdoor fan motors, it ensures the precise static pressure and CFM delivery required for optimal heat rejection in the refrigeration cycle. This AC condenser motor features a permanent split capacitor (PSC) design, requiring a specific MFD run capacitor for proper torque and current draw. The clockwise (CW) rotation and specific frame dimensions allow for drop-in installation on York, Coleman, and Luxaire equipment, maintaining factory-level electrical efficiency and amp draw protection. For contractors, using this York replacement motor ensures compatibility with the existing lead wire harnesses and mounting brackets without the need for field modifications.

Key Benefits

• OEM Compatibility: Exact electrical specifications prevent premature board failure or capacitor mismatch.
• Optimized Heat Dissipation: The 850 RPM speed is calibrated for specific condenser coil thicknesses to maximize thermal transfer.
• Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) Design: Provides reliable start-up and running efficiency in high-ambient outdoor conditions.
• Reduced Mechanical Noise: Precision-balanced rotors minimize vibration, extending the life of the motor bearings and fan blades.
• Direct Fit Lead Wires: Factory-terminated leads facilitate rapid installation during service calls.

Common Questions

What is the correct rotation for this condenser motor?
The York S1-024-40879-000 is designed with a Clockwise (CW) rotation. Always verify the pitch of your fan blade before installation to ensure proper airflow direction away from the coil.

Does this motor require a new run capacitor?
When replacing a 1/4 HP 230V motor, it is industry best practice to install a new run capacitor matching the MFD rating specified on the motor nameplate to ensure optimal torque and winding longevity.

Can I use this to replace a universal motor?
Yes, and utilizing this OEM York S1-024-40879-000 is often preferred over universal motors because it matches the exact RPM and shaft length, preventing airflow imbalances.
