Jackson Systems

Condenser Fan Motors

Keep condensers rejecting heat with the right motor. The Jackson Systems line up covers single-phase PSC replacements in 1/5–1/2 HP at 825 or 1075 RPM, in 208–230V and 460V, including outdoor-duty TEAO builds.

Options include serviceable US Motors Rescue/EZ-FIT, MARS SunSlinger, and OEM Lennox drop-ins for clean fits.

Match HP/amps, RPM, shaft/length, and rotation. Pair with the correct run capacitor to hold head pressure, maintain design airflow across the coil, and protect the compressor.

Choose by voltage and frame to keep noise down and efficiency up.

OEM Drop-Ins: Lennox 27H34 and 76N19 keep dimensions, rotation, and performance exact.

 

How to Find Your Match

HP & Voltage: 1/5–1/2 HP; 208–230V or 460V.

RPM: 1075 RPM is standard. Select 825 RPM when the unit calls for it (quieter, larger-diameter blades).

Enclosure & Frame: TEAO, 48-frame with through-bolts/band mount are common on condensers.

Shaft & Rotation: Most use 1/2″ shafts. Many motors are reversible—verify on the label.

Capacitor: Size per the motor tag (e.g., 7.5µF/440 or per listing) and replace it with the motor.

Install a new, correct run capacitor with the new motor (don’t reuse the old one).

 

When to Replace a Condenser Fan Motor

Bad Motor Symptoms

  • Won’t start or only starts if you push the blade and the run capacitor tests within tolerance → weak windings/starting torque.
  • Trips its internal thermal overload (runs a few minutes, stops, cools, restarts) with correct voltage and a good capacitor.
  • Draws amps above nameplate after the capacitor is replaced and fan blade spins freely.
  • Seized or rough bearings: blade doesn’t coast, you feel grinding/side play, or there’s oil leakage/noise.
  • Burnt smell or discoloration on windings/leads. Brittle/cracked lead insulation.
  • Megger/insulation test shows leakage to ground (insulation breakdown).
  • Visible shaft wobble causing vibration, or the shaft is bent.

Rule Out Other Problems

Bad Run Capacitor (out of labeled tolerance—often ±5–6%): motor hums, won’t start, or runs hot/slow. Replace the cap first and retest.

Incorrect Blade or Airflow Restriction: wrong pitch/diameter or crushed guard can push amps high—verify the blade spec and free airflow.

Low/High Supply Voltage at the Motor Terminals: correct wiring, contactor, and lugs before blaming the motor.

Contactor Pitting/Fan Relay Issues: intermittent power → intermittent motor.

 

Quick Field Test

Power off → spin test (should coast smoothly). Inspect wiring and capacitor.

Capacitor test/replace to the exact µF & voltage on the motor nameplate.

Power on → verify line voltage at motor and check amp draw vs nameplate.

If amps still high, it won’t start, overheats, or bearings feel rough → replace the motor.
