0131M00061SP Condenser Fan Motor Compatible with Goodman - Quiet 1/4

In this review of the 0131M00061SP condenser fan motor, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, drop-in replacement for homeowners and technicians who need a reliable 1/4 HP condenser fan that restores airflow over the condenser coil. The motor is intended for central A/C systems and promises smooth running and reduced noise thanks to upgraded materials and production. If you need a straightforward repair part that matches common Goodman and Broad-Ocean configurations, this motor delivers the core performance most installations require.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed to replace multiple Goodman central air models and YDK-180S84062-01 style motors, making it easy to source a matching part.
• Power and speed: The 1/4 HP rating with a 1075 RPM top speed provides sufficient torque to move air across the condenser coil for effective heat rejection.
• Electrical specs: Rated for 208-230 V and a 6 uF/450 V run capacitor, which matches typical residential condenser motor requirements for single-phase systems.
• Durable construction: Built with higher quality raw materials and precise assembly to reduce vibration and lower operating noise during normal run cycles.
• Reversible rotation: The motor supports reversible direction of rotation, giving flexibility for different fan blade orientations.
• Compact size: A 4.6 in overall motor length and 1/2 in shaft diameter make it a practical replacement in many condenser housings.

Who It's For

This motor is best for HVAC technicians and DIY-minded homeowners who need a reliable replacement for Goodman central air units listed in the compatibility notes or for systems using the YDK-180S84062-01 form factor. It is a fit when the original motor shows signs of slowing, overheating, or noisy bearings and when the system uses a 6 uF run capacitor and 208-230 V supply.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of non-compatible model condensers, systems that require a different horsepower or RPM, or anyone who has not first tested the run capacitor; a failing capacitor can make a good motor appear to be faulty and will produce start or overheating issues.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy to install and reported by customers to function reliably after replacement.
• Low running noise due to improved materials and stricter factory testing.
• Matches common electrical and physical dimensions for many Goodman condensers, simplifying repairs.
• Reversible rotation and compact sizing increase installation flexibility.

Cons

• Not suitable if the system requires a different H/P or capacitor value; confirm specifications before purchase.
• The motor requires a good run capacitor to operate correctly, so a bad capacitor must be diagnosed separately.
