Carrier HC39GE238 Motor

  • $395.72


The Carrier HC39GE238 Condenser Fan Motor is a high-performance direct replacement for HC39GR234, engineered specifically for rigorous outdoor HVAC duty. As a veteran-grade OEM upgraded replacement motor, this 1/4 HP condenser motor operates at 1100 RPM on a 208-230V single-phase circuit. Built on a standard 48 frame, it features a 1/2 inch shaft diameter and is designed for clockwise lead-end (CWLE) rotation. The motor utilizes a permanent split capacitor (PSC) design, requiring a 5 MFD / 370V run capacitor for optimal torque and thermal efficiency. With sleeve bearings and a thermally protected internal winding system, this Carrier 48 frame motor ensures consistent heat dissipation and static pressure management in demanding environments. For contractors, this is the factory-authorized solution to restore original airflow specifications in legacy Carrier, Bryant, and Payne condensing units without the need for mounting modifications.

Key Benefits
  • Direct OEM Interchange: Specifically validated as the factory-correct service part to replace the discontinued HC39GR234.
  • Optimized Cooling Performance: Fixed 1100 RPM operation ensures precise CFM output across the condenser coil for maintaining design head pressures.
  • Industrial Build Quality: Features a Class B insulation rating and continuous air over (TEAO) cooling for reliable operation in high ambient temperatures.
  • Contractor-Ready Specs: Standardized 48 frame housing with a 1/2" x 2" flat shaft simplifies lead-end fan blade mounting and alignment.
Common Questions

What capacitor is required for this motor?
This unit requires a 5 MFD / 370 VAC run capacitor. It is standard practice to replace the capacitor during motor installation to prevent premature winding failure.

Will this motor replace my existing HC39GR234 exactly?
Yes, the HC39GE238 is the official superseding part number for the HC39GR234, matching all physical dimensions, electrical ratings, and rotation requirements.

Is this motor multi-speed or reversible?
No, this is a dedicated single-speed motor with fixed CWLE rotation. Always verify your fan blade pitch and rotation before installation.
