Direct replacement motor
The Dayton 4M261 is a condenser fan motor rated at 1/6 hp for 208-230V AC single-phase supply. It runs at 1075 RPM with a 1.3 A full-load current and continuous duty cycle. Designed for vertical shaft-up or shaft-down mounting, it fits HVAC condenser units that require a 48YZ frame.
Critical frame and voltage match
The 48YZ frame and 208-230V rating are the decisive specifications; a different frame will not bolt to the existing stud pattern and the wrong voltage will damage the windings. Verify the original motor’s nameplate for both values before ordering. The motor also carries a 60 °C maximum ambient temperature and Class B insulation.
Stud mounting with reversible rotation
Installation uses the existing stud mount and the 6 in shaft length accommodates standard fan blades. The motor is permanently split capacitor with auto thermal protection and offers CW/CCW rotation by reversing leads. Common issues are mismatched frame size, incorrect voltage selection and forgetting to secure the capacitor.
