OEM Condenser Fan Motor, Fits Trane, American Standard, and GE, 1/8 HP 230V, Replaces Part #s X70370245010 and MOT12004

This is a keeper it’s working just fine for me easy instal for the diy kind of guy like me

Safely and securely packaged. Pretty speedy delivery considering current COVID crisis. Replacing a condenser fan is not overly challenging, but does have its share of potential pitfalls for an average DIYer. This did fit a 10 year old Trane XR13 ac. Do keep in mind it’s best to have a tapping tool handy to thread the non threaded pilot holes for new motor mounting and installation. Also note you will be tapping into cheap and thin cast metal plate. Don’t over torque the bolts into the newly threaded holes or you will be looking at transferring motor housing from the old motor to the new and they may not match up at all. Again it’s an accomplishable task and takes about an hour. Be safe

Advertised as a direct replacement fan motor for a Trane model 1000 ac unit. Don't believe it. Requires you to bore tape #5x.8 holes in the motor, need to drill new holes in the mounting cover of the unit. Will need to purchase #5x.8 x3/8 bolts and washers for a complete installation. Otherwise it dose the job!!

When my Trane unit went out and the est was almost $1000, I figured it was worth a diy try. I'm a handyman, but far from a HVAC pro. But within an hour I had this fan motor swapped out and she's running like a champ. If you are doing this type of job check your capacitor too (that is sometimes the cause for the motor not running). And be sure to discharge the capacitor by bridging the contacts with an insulated screwdriver before removing the connectors. Happy with the purchase, came very well packaged, and even got here a day ahead of schedule!

Still running strong after a year

This motor meets all the specs of the one it's intended to replace. However, it is NOT the OE motor pictured by GE genteq. It is made by Service First OEM. After doing a lot of research, I was able to find documents from Trane showing that Service First OEM does provide this motor directly to Trane distribution centers. So it is approved by Trane. The other issue I had, as others have stated, is that the four mounting holes were not threaded. Fixing that required a 5mm tap and tapping all for holes takes less than 5 minutes. Installation is easy for anyone with any electrical or mechanical experience or an average DIYer.

I have not had any problems with this easy install thank God my order came fast my state is in a heat wave.

I replaced this motor last year, 2023, with a new OEM fan prop, just in case the existing fan prop was off balance. Didn't want the bearings to take a beating. Started up in 2024, the motor is noisy and sounds like bearing noise. My original motor was twenty years old and still operating, I figured I would drop a new motor for some peace of mind. I was a HVAC tech for 20 years. Change the contactor often and also run the capacitor. Disappointed.
