Rheem 5462 Rescue Condenser Fan Motor 1/3 to 1/6 Hp

Product Description

The RHEEM 5462 is a 2-speed RESCUE condenser fan motor rated from 1/6 to 1/3 horsepower, designed as a direct-drive replacement for failed or inefficient condenser fan assemblies. Running at 1075 RPM on 208-230 volts single-phase 60 Hz power, this motor uses ball bearings for long service life under continuous outdoor duty cycling. Copper windings support heat dissipation during extended run times. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics install this motor as part of a condenser fan replacement on air conditioning and heat pump equipment.

The 5462 is suited for residential and light commercial condenser units where the OEM motor has failed or where a multi-horsepower replacement is needed to cover a range of applications from one stocked part. The 2-speed configuration and broad voltage rating of 208-230 volts make it adaptable across common single-phase condenser fan applications. Its direct-drive design means no belt or pulley hardware is required during installation.

Key Features

• 2-speed operation covering 1/6 HP and 1/3 HP output ranges
• 1075 RPM direct-drive configuration eliminates belt and pulley components
• 208-230V single-phase 60 Hz rating suits standard residential and light commercial power supply
• Ball bearing construction for extended outdoor duty service life
• Copper windings for reliable heat dissipation under continuous cycling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style RESCUE replacement for residential and light commercial condenser fan motors in single-phase air conditioning and heat pump systems requiring a 1/6 to 1/3 HP direct-drive motor at 1075 RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the condensing unit before removing the existing motor or accessing the fan assembly. Verify the rotation direction and lead wiring configuration before energizing the replacement motor. Refer to the equipment wiring diagram and applicable local codes when making electrical connections.
