Carrier LA680547 Fan Blade
The Carrier LA680547 Fan Blade is a critical OEM replacement propeller engineered for high-efficiency thermal transfer in residential and light commercial condensing units. This 5-blade fan features a 13-inch diameter and a precise 38-degree pitch, optimized to maintain specified static pressure while minimizing motor amp draw. Designed for clockwise (CW) rotation and equipped with a 1/2-inch bore, this hub-mounted blade ensures a secure fit on standard motor shafts, preventing vibration-induced fatigue. As a factory authorized part, it is the direct replacement for retired ICP and Carrier components—including LA01EW013 and LA01EW014—and is a confirmed fit for the Carrier 38EN-018-310 series. For contractors performing preventative maintenance or emergency repairs, utilizing this condenser fan blade ensures the system operates within original manufacturer performance curves, protecting the compressor from head pressure spikes and extending the service life of the outdoor section.
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Verified fit for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne equipment, replacing legacy part numbers LA01EW013 and LA01EW014.
- Optimized Airflow: The 38-degree pitch is balanced to provide maximum CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) without overloading the condenser fan motor.
- Durable Construction: High-grade metallic composition provides structural rigidity to resist blade deformation under high-velocity operating conditions.
- Precision Seating: The 1/2" bore includes a set screw for a locked, slip-free connection to the motor shaft, reducing mechanical noise.
Common Questions
How do I verify the rotation for the LA680547?This blade is rated for Clockwise (CW) rotation when viewing the air discharge side. Always confirm the rotation of your existing motor before installation to ensure proper airflow direction across the coils.
Will this 13-inch blade fit other 1/2-inch shaft motors?While the 1/2-inch bore is a standard size, the 38-degree pitch and 13-inch diameter are specific to the torque profile of Carrier HVAC systems. Using an incorrect pitch can lead to motor overheating or insufficient subcooling.
What model numbers frequently use the LA680547 fan blade?This part is commonly found in the Carrier 38EN-018-310 unit and various Bryant/Payne 1.5-ton split system condensers requiring specific static pressure management.
