Carrier 38SYG048 Cooling Fan Motor
The fan motor on the compressor has the main duty of cooling the outdoor compressor, this is crucial due to the large amounts of heat energy has to be dispelled into the air. It is important that you buy a replacement motor with the voltage that is the same and the same amps as it is on the bad motor. The unit may be replaced without having to go through the hassle of getting a new blade as this will reduce install time and reduce costs overall.
