Genteq 5sme39hshf406 Ecm Blower Motor 1/3 Hp 208-230V

Product Description

The GENTEQ 5SME39HSHF406 is an electronically commutated motor (ECM) blower motor rated at 1/3 HP and designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Operating on 208-230 volts at 50-60 Hz on a single-phase supply, this motor delivers variable speed control that allows the air handler or furnace blower to modulate airflow in response to system demand. ECM technology provides significantly lower energy consumption and quieter operation compared to traditional PSC motors, making it a practical replacement or upgrade in forced-air heating and cooling equipment. Licensed HVAC technicians are the primary installers for this type of motor.

The 5SME39HSHF406 carries the 142R designation and fits standard blower motor frame configurations common in forced-air furnaces and air handlers. Its dual-frequency rating at 50 and 60 Hz makes it suitable for a broad range of installations. Variable speed capability allows the motor to respond to control board commands, supporting multi-speed or continuous fan modes depending on the system configuration. This motor is intended for professional installation in ducted HVAC applications where precise airflow management and energy efficiency are priorities.

Key Features

• ECM technology for variable speed operation and reduced energy consumption compared to PSC motors
• Rated at 1/3 HP for standard residential and light commercial blower applications
• Operates on 208-230 volts, single phase, at both 50 and 60 Hz
• 142R designation fits standard blower motor frame sizes common in forced-air equipment
• Quiet operation suitable for occupied spaces with noise-sensitive requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ECM blower motor replacement for forced-air furnaces and air handlers requiring a 1/3 HP, 208-230V, single-phase variable speed motor with a standard blower motor frame.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the air handler or furnace before removing the existing motor. ECM blower motors require a compatible control board capable of sending the appropriate variable speed signal; verify control board compatibility before installation. Follow applicable local electrical codes and the equipment manufacturer's service documentation during replacement.
