It will, in fact.
Can you confirm the horsepower of your current motor? Is it 1/6HP? 230 volts and 825 revolutions per minute? If that's the case, this one should suffice.
This plugged right in with only three wires on mine. Although the wires are of a smaller gauge than the originals, they appear to function properly.
There were only three wires on the Trane motor it replaced. It was simple to set up and use, and it has performed admirably. Are you confident that this is the correct Trane model?

First and foremost, let us express our gratitude to the HVAC technicians who respond to emergency calls and get people back up and running the same day, then take the time to create how-to videos. to videos for the rest of us cheapskate types who would rather wait for a part than pay for professional help. This was a great replacement part that was simple to put together. In about 15 minutes, I replaced the compressor fan motor and she was back up and running. br>br>To cut a long story short, I have a Trane unit with a non-spinning fan and a buzzing compressor. Based on internet recommendations, I began by testing the run/start capacitor with a multimeter, and everything appeared to be in working order. I also attempted to manually spin the fan blade by reaching into the unit with a stick, but this did not work. I then unplugged the compressor from the circuit breaker and waited 30 minutes for it to cool down. I opened the top of the unit to get to the fan and motor while it was cooling. The blade wasn't spinning as freely as it should have been, and the motor was scorching hot. After 30 minutes, I flipped the breaker back on, and the fan began to spin again, but it was clear that it was not spinning at the proper speed, and it stopped working after about 10 minutes. br>br>When I looked up "Trane fan motor" on Amazon, this was the first result. I double-checked the RPM, HP, voltage, and resistance values to make sure they were correct for the motor I was replacing. Another thing to keep in mind is how your current fan motor is wired in order to duplicate it. My score was 3 out of 10. Two wires are connected to the capacitor, and one is connected to another component. Fortunately, this item only has three wires, which were identical to the ones I was using. What to do with extra wires can be found in a number of YouTube videos. br>br>I was able to remove the fan from the motor shaft and reattach it with minimal issues and without the use of any special tools after watching other online videos. Make sure you don't lose the screws that connect the new fan motor to the shroud cover of the unit. After attaching the fan motor to the shroud cover, place it in the compressor unit and connect the wires to the correct contact points. You should be back in business assuming everything went smoothly. br>br>5-day wait for part, 2-day wait for part, 3-day wait for part, 4-day wait for part, 5-day wait for part, 5-day wait for part I spent 3 hours watching videos and researching the part I needed, as well as 15 minutes removing and replacing the fan motor. A huge success!.
I checked references to make sure this motor would work in my Trane XL 14i (which I did with the help of a competitor selling the same motor for three times the price). br>br>I had a 1/4"driver, a 5/16"driver, my trusty Ryobi impact driver, and a pair of needle-nose pliers when the motor arrived on time. I completed the swap in 20 minutes using nose pliers. br>br>Although the instructions were not specific, they were clear. existent, simply paying attention to the wire colors of the old motor as I disassembled it and hooking up the new motor in the same manner made easy (and cheap) work of what would have cost me $600 if I had hired a local tech. br>br>If working with electricity and large capacitors makes you nervous (or if these words don't make sense to you), don't do it. br>br>However, if you've ever wired up a car stereo and know that shorting a start-up capacitor is a bad idea (and you're confident you won't) - go ahead and do it yourself. If that's the case, this is a DIY project for you.
It's the right size and works perfectly. I have two of these now, installed about a year apart in different AC units, and they appear to be in good working order.
It was simple to set up and cost a fraction of what I would have paid at a wholesaler.
A new motor would cost a small fortune to install, according to the heating and air conditioning company. We bought it, watched a YouTube video on how to install it, and did it ourselves. I was able to save a few hundred dollars as a result of my efforts. It's fantastic! I'm going to hold off on giving it a star until it's been tested for longevity. I'll post an update when I can.
It worked perfectly. Make sure that the HP, amps, and rpm are all in line with the OEM specifications. I discovered this the hard way when I purchased the first replacement motor, which did not match the rpm specification. The higher rpm caused by the fan blade pitch resulted in overcurrent and thermal overload, resulting in shutdown.
Because the capacitor is so inexpensive, I recommend replacing it as well.
Fast delivery, reasonable pricing, and excellent performance.
