Upgrading or repairing a condenser unit requires exact matches to maintain system static pressure and CFM delivery. The Carrier HC36AR231 is a 1/8 HP OEM replacement fan motor designed specifically for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne equipment. Operating at 208-240V and a nominal speed of 840 RPM, this single-phase motor provides the necessary torque for demanding outdoor environments. As a direct replacement for HC35AE201 and HC35AE651, it eliminates the need for field modifications, ensuring the mounting and shaft alignment match the original factory specifications. Featuring permanent split capacitor (PSC) technology and a counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation from the lead end, this motor is built for continuous air-over duty. When performing a swap, verify your Run Capacitor rating, as this 39-frame motor typically requires a 5 MFD / 370V capacitor to ensure optimal start torque and amp draw. Professional-grade ball bearings and thermal protection are standard to handle high-ambient temperatures in the condenser section.

• Direct OEM Fit: Drop-in HVAC replacement motor for obsolete models HC35AE201 and HC35AE651.
• Reliable Performance: Rated for 840 RPM at 230V, maintaining factory-specified airflow across the condenser coils.
• Contractor Grade: Features a 1/2 inch diameter shaft and standard 4-wire hookup for fast integration.
• Thermal Protection: Internal thermal overload protection prevents winding burnout during high-load conditions.

Is the HC36AR231 compatible with my existing fan blade?
Yes, as a Genuine Carrier Part, it features the standard single-side flat shaft which is compatible with the original blower wheels and fan blades used in the 38HDA and 38HDC series.

Does this motor include a new capacitor?
No, the HC36AR231 Fan Motor is sold individually. It is standard best practice for technicians to replace the 5 MFD capacitor simultaneously to prevent premature motor fatigue.

What is the rotation direction for this model?
This motor is CCW (Counter-Clockwise) rotation when viewed from the lead/back end of the motor, matching the specific pull-through airflow patterns of residential condenser units.
