Carrier 38YRA042 Cooling Fan Motor
The compressor fan motor is responsible for keeping the compressor cool, because a large quantity of heat gets released and that heat energy has to be driven away. The motor can be replaced without the necessity of buying a fan blade too, this results in an easier installation and make it a probable DIY project. Just make sure you find one with the correct voltage listed and amperage listed as it is on the current motor.
