Wagner Motors WG840728 Condenser Fan Motor 1/4 Hp

Product Description

The WAGNER MOTORS WG840728 is a permanent split capacitor condenser fan motor rated at 1/4 HP and designed for residential and light commercial HVAC condensing units. It operates on 208 to 230 volts AC at 60 Hz, draws 2.2 amps full load, and turns at 1075 RPM in a single-speed configuration. The 48 frame motor is reversible and supports shaft-up, shaft-down, and belly band mounting orientations, giving technicians flexibility when replacing failed motors in a range of condenser cabinet configurations. Ball bearings provide long service life under the sustained heat loads typical of outdoor condensing unit service.

This motor is suited for residential split-system air conditioners and heat pump condensing units where a 48 frame, 1/4 HP replacement motor is required. The reversible rotation and multiple mounting options make it a practical universal-style replacement for HVAC service work. The gray-green powder coat finish is standard for outdoor condenser fan motor applications. Licensed HVAC technicians performing summer startup, end-of-season teardown, or emergency motor replacement will find the extended mounting bolts and large printed wiring diagram on the motor body useful in tight condenser cabinets.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement condenser fan motor for residential and light commercial HVAC condensing units requiring a 48 frame, 1/4 HP, 208 to 230 volt, 1075 RPM permanent split capacitor motor with reversible rotation.

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 capacitor. The run capacitor size is noted on the motor carton — verify capacitor MFD and voltage rating match the replacement motor requirements before energizing. Consult the wiring diagram printed on the motor body and in the included instruction sheet; do not rely on wire color alone to confirm terminal connections.
