Trane American Standard Condenser FAN MOTOR 1/8 HP 230v X70370245010 MOT12004 by Trane GE Genteq

My A/C had crashed and this motor did the job. I was up and running as soon as it was delivered. I installed it with no problem and it has been working fine without a hitch.

Still running strong after a year

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!

If you find that the studs are protruding too far you may reverse the bolts.For an easy fix !

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'm sure that this motor probably works great, but we couldn't install it because the holes on the unit are not tapped for installation. We were told that the screws on our Trane unit are self tapping, but they are not. We would have to tap the holes before installation and it just wasn't worth it.

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

Mounting holes have to be tapped out to a 10-32 thread size. It helps to have another set of hands when running wires thru the conduit.
