Trane MOT18687 Motor

When you're out in the field and a Trane condenser fan drops out, the Trane MOT18687 Motor is the reliable OEM HVAC replacement motor you need to get the system back online. This 1/6 HP direct drive motor is specifically engineered for residential and light commercial condenser applications, operating at 200-230 volts. Its 825 RPM speed profile ensures proper static pressure and airflow across the coils without the excessive noise common in off-brand alternatives. Built with a robust 48-frame housing and a TEAO (Totally Enclosed Air-Over) enclosure, this PSC motor provides critical protection against environmental contaminants. As the verified MOT18687 replacement motor for legacy parts like the MOT10478 and MOT13209, it features a 1/2-inch diameter shaft and standardized 4.56-inch body length for a precise drop-in fit. Don't waste time on the job site trying to "make it work"—this motor is the exact match required for Trane and American Standard units, ensuring the thermal protection and counter-clockwise rotation (CCW/LE) meet original factory performance specs.

• Precise Compatibility: Direct OEM replacement for MOT10478, MOT13209, and X70370246010, eliminating the need for mounting bracket modifications.
• High-Efficiency Performance: Single-speed PSC design optimized for 825 RPM to maintain the original manufacturer’s airflow and system SEER rating.
• Proven Durability: Thermal overload protection and TEAO enclosure design protect against winding failure in harsh outdoor environments.
• Contractor Grade: Features a standard 48-frame mounting pattern and a 51-inch lead length for versatile routing within the cabinet.

Does this motor include a new run capacitor?
No, this motor does not include a capacitor. For optimal performance, replace your existing capacitor with a fresh 5.0 MFD / 370V AC unit to ensure the start torque meets the 25.5 Oz-ft design requirements.

What is the rotation and shaft size for the MOT18687?
This motor is rated for Counter-Clockwise (CCW) rotation from the lead end. It features a standard 1/2-inch diameter shaft with a 3.77-inch length to accommodate most Trane condenser fan blades.

Can I use this to replace a 1075 RPM motor?
No. This is a specific 825 RPM motor. Swapping with a different RPM rating will change the amperage draw and airflow, potentially leading to compressor overheating or motor burnout.
