Carrier HC40GQ236 Motor

The Carrier HC40GQ236 Motor is a high-performance direct replacement for HC40GR236, engineered specifically for demanding condenser fan motor applications in residential and light commercial HVACR systems. Operating at 208-230V on a single-phase (1PH) power supply, this 1/4 HP motor provides a steady 825 RPM to maintain optimal heat rejection across the outdoor coil. Built with a PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) design, it features internal thermal protection and a Continuous Air Over (CAO) duty rating to handle high ambient temperatures without premature failure.

For technicians in the field, the HC40GQ236 offers a standard 1/2-inch shaft diameter and a 2.5-inch shaft length, ensuring compatibility with factory Carrier Bryant Payne fan blades. The 825 RPM operational speed is critical for matching original equipment air volume requirements, preventing the head pressure issues common with generic high-speed substitutes. This OEM-certified motor ensures a seamless drop-in fit, reducing troubleshooting time and restoring the system’s original efficiency and decibel ratings.

• Direct OEM Swap: Specifically designed to replace the HC40GR236 without mounting modifications.
• High-Torque Performance: 1/4 HP 1-phase 208-230v motor built for consistent airflow under heavy load.
• Optimized 825 RPM: Matches original fan curve specifications to prevent motor overheating and vibration.
• Industrial Durability: Class B insulation and thermal protection for reliable operation in extreme environments.

Is this motor compatible with Bryant or Payne units?
Yes, as a Carrier Factory Authorized Part, this motor is the primary replacement for various Bryant and Payne condenser models that originally utilized the HC40GR236 or HC40GQ236 part numbers.

Does this motor require a specific capacitor?
Yes. For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace the run capacitor when installing a new 1/4 HP condenser motor. Check the motor nameplate for specific MFD requirements.

Can I use a 1075 RPM motor instead of this 825 RPM version?
No. Increasing the RPM can lead to higher amp draw, fan blade stress, and reduced heat transfer across the coil. Always match the specified 825 RPM to maintain system equilibrium.
