Trane MOT16174 Motor

The Trane MOT16174 is a genuine OEM condenser fan motor engineered for high-duty cycle performance in Trane and American Standard residential and light commercial condensing units. This 1/3 HP HVAC motor operates at 208-230V and is built for consistent 1075 RPM single-speed operation. Designed with a CWLE (Clockwise Lead End) rotation, it ensures precise airflow dynamics across the condenser coils, maintaining head pressure within manufacturer specifications. When diagnosing a failed outdoor fan, utilizing an OEM MOT16174 replacement eliminates the mounting and shaft alignment issues common with universal "multi-fit" motors. This unit is typically housed in a 48-frame diameter and requires a properly rated run capacitor to ensure optimal torque and thermal protection during peak summer loads. For technicians seeking to restore system efficiency and factory-spec acoustic levels, this Trane condenser motor provides the exact electrical and mechanical match required for a professional-grade repair.

Common Questions

What is the rotation of the MOT16174?
This motor is CWLE (Clockwise Lead End). Always verify the fan blade pitch and original motor rotation before installation to ensure proper airflow direction.

Does this motor include the run capacitor?
Capacitors are generally sold separately. It is a best practice to replace the capacitor when installing a new 1/3 HP condenser motor to prevent premature winding failure.

Can I use this in an American Standard unit?
Yes, the Trane MOT16174 is the identical OEM replacement for authorized American Standard equipment sharing the same part number.
