Emerson K48HXGFG-4294 Condenser Fan Motor – 1/5 HP, 208–230V, 1075/900 RPM, 42Y Frame, 60/50Hz

Condition: New

The Emerson K48HXGFG-4294 is a dual-speed condenser fan motor designed for HVAC applications requiring reliable airflow at 1075 or 900 RPM. With a 1/5 HP output, this motor is ideal for use in residential and light commercial air conditioning condensers. It operates on 208–230V single-phase power, features a 42Y frame, and includes permanently lubricated bearings for low-maintenance operation. The motor’s construction ensures it can withstand outdoor conditions commonly found in rooftop or ground-mounted condensing units.

Common Requests:
“Can I use this to replace a 1/6 HP motor?” ✅ Possibly – as long as voltage, frame, and RPM match
“What capacitor does this require?” – ⚠️ Check nameplate (likely 5–7.5 µF at 370V)
“What direction does the motor spin?” – Usually CCWSE (confirm on label)
“Is this motor compatible with Goodman or Carrier units?” ✅ Often, if same frame and specs
“Can I mount this vertically?” – Typically horizontal shaft is preferred for condenser use
