Trane MOT18953 Blower Motor | 1/2 HP 200-230V 3-Speed PSC OEM

The Trane MOT18953 is a genuine factory-authorized PSC blower motor designed for Trane and American Standard furnaces and air handlers. This 1/2 HP high-performance Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement is engineered to provide the exact 1075 RPM and airflow specifications required for your specific HVAC model.

Compatibility & Cross-Reference

The MOT18953 is the designated service replacement for an extensive list of legacy and discontinued part numbers. It is the required OEM match if your current motor or manual lists:

  • Replaces Trane / American Standard Part Numbers: MOT08500, MOT02609, MOT06359
  • Manufacturer Equivalent: X70670898017
  • Common Applications: Frequently used in some 2TEC3F42, AHCB030, BWV036A, TEV036A, and TWV036A series air handlers.

Important Installation Note: Run Capacitor

  • Required Capacitor: This motor requires a new P291-1004 Run Capacitor for proper starting and operation.
  • Replacement Essential: It is a requirement to install a brand-new capacitor when replacing any PSC motor. Using an old or weakened capacitor can cause the new motor to overheat or fail prematurely.
