Trane MOT18688 Motor

Trane MOT18688 Motor

The Trane MOT18688 is a high-performance, single-speed condenser fan motor designed for continuous duty in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This 1/8 HP HVAC motor operates at a synchronous speed of 825 RPM on a 200-230V, 60Hz single-phase power supply. Built with a standard 48 frame, it features a Totally Enclosed Air-Over (TEAO) enclosure to protect internal windings from environmental debris and moisture, ensuring long-term reliability in outdoor condensing units. As a veteran-grade OEM replacement motor, it provides a drop-in solution for legacy parts, specifically serving as the direct replacement for MOT12215 and MOT10480. The motor utilizes a Counter-Clockwise (CCW) rotation from the lead end and requires a 5 MFD / 370V run capacitor for proper induction and torque. Professionals trust the Trane MOT18688 for its thermal protection and sleeve bearing architecture, which minimize mechanical wear during high-ambient operation.

Key Benefits
  • Direct OEM Compatibility: Engineered as a precise Trane MOT18688 replacement for MOT12215, MOT10480, and MOT12004, eliminating the need for mounting modifications.
  • Enhanced Durability: The TEAO enclosure and internal thermal protection safeguard the motor against overheating and moisture ingress in harsh outdoor conditions.
  • Optimized Performance: Maintains a consistent 825 RPM to provide the necessary static pressure for efficient heat exchange across condenser coils.
  • Standardized Fit: The industry-standard 48 frame motor size and 1/2-inch shaft diameter allow for rapid installation by service technicians.
Common Questions

What motors does the MOT18688 replace?
This motor is the authorized superseding part for several older models, including MOT12215, MOT10480, MOT16968, and MOT12004. Always verify the 48 frame and 825 RPM specs match your existing unit.

Does this motor include the run capacitor?
No, the capacitor is sold separately. For optimal starting torque and efficiency, a 5 MFD 370V capacitor is recommended for this 1/8 HP motor.

How do I confirm the rotation direction?
The Trane MOT18688 is rated for CCW (Counter-Clockwise) rotation when viewed from the lead end. Confirm the fan blade pitch matches this rotation before installation.
