Description

Trane MOT18685 200 - 230V Motor (1/5 HP, 825 RPM, 48 Frame)
An OEM replacement motor used in compatible Trane HVAC equipment where the system specifies MOT18685 for the required voltage, horsepower, speed, and frame.

Key Features:
  • Voltage: 200 - 230V
  • Horsepower: 1/5 HP
  • Speed: 825 RPM
  • Frame: 48
  • Listed as replacing: MOT13693, MOT17917

Compatibility & Applications:
  • Intended for Trane HVAC applications where this motor is specified.
  • Must only be used where the manufacturer specifies this exact part number: MOT18685 (or explicitly lists it as the approved replacement for MOT13693 / MOT17917).

Installation & Operation Notes:
  • Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC service technician; Trane safety guidance states only qualified personnel should install and service HVAC equipment.
  • Reference the unit's service/installation manual and wiring diagram to confirm correct mounting, wiring, rotation/airflow requirements, and any required accessory components.
  • Parts commonly mentioned alongside this motor on the product listing include dual run capacitors and a motor cover (application-dependent; verify against the unit documentation).

Maintenance & Troubleshooting:
  • This motor is commonly replaced when the original outdoor unit motor fails or becomes unreliable.
  • Review-reported install considerations:
  • Some users report mounting-point differences versus the old motor and needing additional locking nuts not included.
  • One reviewer notes it uses a 10 microfarad capacitor in their application (confirm capacitor requirements from the unit documentation before energizing).
  • One reviewer cautions to inspect wiring on arrival after receiving a motor with a damaged/cut lead at the wire exit fitting.

User Reviews & Q&A Summary:
  • Reviews are strongly positive overall and commonly describe it as the right match and that it worked perfectly once the correct part number was confirmed.
  • Common themes include successful DIY installs (with some trial-and-error), fast fulfillment, and straightforward hookup once fitted.
  • Repeated practical notes include needing extra mounting hardware in some installs and carefully inspecting the wiring/leads before installation.

Right match!

Needless is to tell how many times a new part does not match what it replaces. In the case of Trane's AC units there are a number of different vendors for any given part and the motor inside the condenser is one of them! The mounting points were different from the ones in the old motor, but the mounting base was already set to accept it! Just needed four additional locking nuts that were not included with the new motor, but this was not a big deal for me. It will be nice to deliver this replacement motor with the extra locking nuts in the future! Thanks!

Lowest price and quick shipping

I will start off by saying this motor was a good price and shipping was quick. Alot of the other reviews helped me know I needed to purchase extra nuts to mount it. Also it does take a 10 microfarad capacitor as someone stated. Now to my trouble. When I received the motor one of the wires was cut by the fitting on the side where they exit. So I made a decision to strip and solder the wire back together, luckily I had enough to work with. I would caution anyone to thoroughly check them if you purchase. They really should protect the wires from the sharp edge of the plastic fitting!

Had to get a different capacitor to match this motor.

Fit right in, only difference was capacitor rating......my old motor was 35/5mfd, this one is 35/10mfd.

Worked perfectly

Worked perfectly after researching and finding the part number it changed about five times. This was the final one that they sent to me and it hooked right up to my existing system no issues whatsoever. Also, we were having very very cold days and that in the teens and they were able to get it to me within a week.

Reliable!!!

For a first timer I was able to get it installed. It was mentally difficult. If I had to do it again it would be a breeze. I had to reverse the bolts on the motor to make it fit properly. It's been up and running for a few weeks now.

Just what I needed for Trane XR15

Worked perfect for my 4TTR5036E1000AC Model Number 13095AHL2F. Replaced the OEM motor Y7S862D83. And the cheapest price with fast shipping. Great Job. Thank you.
