Works food spins the correct way clearer wiring instructions would be appreciated like tie the yellow and brown wires together or the other colors can't remember all the colors now but tie these 2 together to spin clockwise or tie these 2 wires together to spin counter clockwise once figured out its great value on a great product thank you for having it available

Had this motor for my almost 30 year old rheem 3 ton heat pump because I knew one day I'd need it, so I had it a couple years already and poof I needed it this week at midnight.I installed it at night when it finally quit running and I just ordered another back up motor because I see some reviews aren't very good on longevity.It was my first HVAC condenser motor replace on the roof of my house so I strapped on my head light and pulled the panel and brought it down under my patio to swap motors.I already did exhaustive research on the wire hook up from factory 3 wire to the universal 5 wire and it was easy, also my capacitor was already rated what the motor required and was almost new and metered within specs.I bought a under 50 dollar fan puller and glad I did that had set screws pinch the shaft flange and it came right off.Most important part was to find a place to measure the fan blade distance from the fan cover/mount to the blades and not worry about where it sits on the shaft because the new motors most likely have a longer shaft plus I was worried about the shaft size but got lucky it was all 1/2”I tested the fan operation before I buttoned up and tied the wires up and she blew much more air than the original motor blew for years so the AC compressor and system is loving life much better now.Don't forget to pull the rubber drain plug out before you install the cover back on so you don't kill the motor with moisture not getting out

This is for a Rheem Condenser unit. The plate is worn off so I can't read the model number. The old fan that I replaced was aEmerson model KA55HXEMP-890HP = 1/6RPM = 1075208-230 VoltAir Over CONT Frame 48YThermally protectedPT NO 51-21826-01Had to reverse the bolts on the motor so the threads were sticking out from above and I could hang it from the top of the condenser cage. The trick to getting the fan blade off the motor shaft without a puller is to take out the retaining set screw and spray the screw hole with penetrating oil. Then take a punch and put it on the inner ring of the fan were the metal is strong and pound it down with a hammer about an 1/8. Then sand the rust off the shaft with emery cloth. Then hold the shaft from turning with channel locks and rotate the fan blades to break it loose. Then work the fan off the shaft. I verified using a sheet of paper that the fan was pulling air down from the top to confirm that I got the fan rotation direction correct. The direction is reversible. I cable tied all the wires into place. I probably should have changed the starting capacitor but did not. The new fan is nice and quite and works great.

Did it in 1.5 hours

So when my 10 year old condenser fan failed, I was surprised to find the newer units use BLDC fans with full motion control on the condensers. The board is not available, and the motor costs $400! This here is really an ideal replacement, eventhough it's going backwards installing an induction motor with cap in place. It works perfectly though. The instructions are straightforward, but some electrical understanding is required. The speed of this unit is higher than my original so it is a bit louder. No biggie.I was not able using a gear puller and a torch to get the old fan off the shaft. Unless you have a press I strongly suggest you also order the appropriate fan blade and capacitor all together with this motor in order to complete the job same day.

Wiring plugs were different so be sure to verify wiring diagram.

Living in northern California the temperature could get up to a 100Plus thank you you save my life I was able to use my AC this year

This is a universal fan motor that worked well on my Rudd condenser unit. Simply follow the instructions and wiring diagram for your type of installation.

If you are using an older rheem or rudd condensing unit you know that these small quarter inch screws mount them on the body this has the screws and the screw holes that you need to mount properly and securely very good quality motor very quiet and smooth running.

To replace Rheem Condenser Fan Motor.

Very quite and good quality

Fairly easy to install. The directions were very poor but a youtube video helps to install. Motor works great and very little noise.

Very good motor, hefty build, and multiple wiring options for different AC units. A great replacement.

This is definitely a quality part. Noise improvement was the goal and this definitely was a lot quieter than my last motor. Make sure to check your fan. If it has cracks, replace it. This unit does not come with a fan (which it does not claim to).

Just needed a 1/4 ratchet, a 5/16 open ended wrench and a few inches of Electrical tape.I found that the direction of rotation was as viewed from the back (non-shaft) side of the motor.I guessed wrong the first time but it was trivial to re-connect. That did mess up the wiring color scheme from the AC unit's original installation, so I added the instruction sheet to the schematic package, circling the utilized motor installation drawing.

Fit like a glove

Words excellent easy instructions and fast delivered work great on my 2.5 ton unit

The directions tell you the wires to use for CW and CCW, but they don't say what to do to the two remaining wires. The 2 remaining wires need to be connected to each other otherwise the fan will not operate. The bolts holding the motor together may need to be removed and inverted in order to attach to the fan guard. I had to do that.

Excellent product and delivery time
