FAN MOTOR

For service buyers searching by part number, 18-8797-32 corresponds to the fan motor. A replacement like this is typically used when the installed component shows age, damage, or performance drift that affects normal operation. Confirm the equipment brand and the original part reference on the unit before installing a replacement. Where model references are available, cross-check the service model and revision level because similar machines can use different parts. Restores fan, drive, or mechanical movement when airflow or rotation is weak, noisy, or completely stopped. When this component fails, technicians may see issues such as low airflow, fan not spinning, and motor not starting. Motor failures may cause stopped airflow, weak movement, unusual noise, or intermittent rotation that affects machine operation. For this motor category, the typical repair goal is to restore the function that the failed component was affecting. During diagnosis, the part number should be matched first, then the circuit or assembly should be tested to confirm the failure path. For motor service calls, it helps to confirm proper voltage and check for seized shafts, worn bearings, or damaged wiring at the motor leads. After installation, technicians typically monitor startup or cycle operation to confirm the machine returns to normal behavior. Replacing a failed component with the correct part number helps restore normal operation, reduces repeat callbacks, and supports more reliable troubleshooting outcomes. Documenting voltage, resistance, temperature, or flow readings during diagnosis also helps validate the repair after installation. To avoid ordering delays, confirm the exact part number and compare mounting style, connector style, and application details before installation. Complaints such as not turning on, no power, not cooling, not starting, intermittent operation, error code messages, or ice not dropping can overlap across several parts, so a confirmed diagnosis will help this replacement solve the actual problem faster.
