TOTALINE® P257-3206 Condenser Fan Motor | 1/2 HP 825 RPM 208-230V | OEM Replacement PSC Single Speed


The TOTALINE® P257-3206 is a heavy-duty, high-torque Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor designed to serve as the critical "mechanical heart" of your outdoor condensing unit. Operating at a steady 825 RPM, this motor is engineered for low-speed, high-efficiency heat rejection, making it a vital component for systems that require substantial airflow without the noise of higher-velocity motors. As a Factory Authorized component, it is the primary replacement for various Carrier, Bryant, and Payne condenser series. Unlike generic alternatives, the P257-3206 is built to maintain the factory-specified head pressure of your cooling system, ensuring that the compressor—the system's "brain"—operates within its safe thermal limits.


Key Features

  • Genuine Part Number P257-3206: Guaranteed OEM fit for residential and light commercial outdoor units, eliminating the need for mounting modifications.
  • Low-Speed 825 RPM Design: Specifically tuned for high-static fan blades to provide maximum cooling efficiency with minimal decibel output.
  • Fixes Bearing & Vibration Issues: Replaces aging motors that suffer from grinding bearings, excessive housing heat, or intermittent thermal tripping.
  • Internal Safety Monitoring: Equipped with automatic reset thermal overload protection to prevent motor winding burnout during extreme ambient spikes.
  • All-Angle Mounting Versatility: Engineered for vertical shaft-up, shaft-down, or horizontal mounting to suit a wide range of cabinet configurations.

🛠️ HVAC Depot Pro Tip

"Take a Picture First" — Before disconnecting the 2.8 Amp leads from the contactor and capacitor, snap a clear photo of the original wiring. Because this is a reversible rotation motor, identifying which leads are currently linked for CW or CCW rotation is vital. During installation, always verify your fan blade's set screw is tightened onto the flat part of the 1/2" shaft to prevent "slipping" which can cause the motor to over-amp and fail prematurely.
