YZF18-25 Fan AC Motor 120V 18W 60Hz - Condenser Replacement

In this review the YZF18-25 fan AC motor is evaluated as a direct replacement motor for refrigeration and small ventilation applications. The bottom line: installers and maintenance techs who need a compact, UL/CSA certified shaded pole motor that fits common refrigeration units will appreciate its reliable performance and long service life. The reviewer found the motor especially useful where a stable, corrosion-resistant metal housing and simple installation are priorities.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Replaces several models including YZF10-20, YZF6-13, W0301905 and W0301904, which makes it a convenient spare for many refrigeration brands.
• Electrical rating: Runs on 120 Volts at 60Hz with 1.01A draw and an 18 W output, providing a suitable balance of power and efficiency for condenser and evaporator fans.
• Construction quality: Built from high-temperature and corrosion-resistant metal materials, giving stable operation and extended service life in humid refrigeration environments.
• Certified safety: UL/CSA certification and ROHS-compliant materials reduce compliance concerns for commercial equipment service.
• Airflow capacity: Rated air volume of 940 m3/h supports effective heat dissipation in condensers, radiators and freezers when paired with the correct fan blade.
• Easy installation: Small compact body and mounting design allow replacement without drilling or welding, speeding field repairs.

Who It's For

This motor is aimed at service technicians, restaurant equipment managers and DIYers who need a reliable replacement motor for refrigeration equipment from brands such as Atosa, Avantco, Fasco, Elco, Supco and Mars. It is a practical choice when the original motor is worn, noisy or failed and a straightforward swap is preferred.

Those seeking a motor that includes a fan blade or specialized high-speed industrial performance should look elsewhere; this unit is a shaded pole condenser/evaporator motor intended for small ventilation and refrigeration uses and does not include a blade.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fit and compatibility with multiple legacy motor models, simplifying parts inventory.
• Solid build quality with corrosion-resistant metal and UL/CSA certification for safety.
