MOTOR

The component sold under part number 18-8849-01 is the motor, commonly ordered for repair jobs. In service work, this part is selected when troubleshooting points to component failure rather than a wiring, control setting, or maintenance issue. Before purchase, compare the machine brand and the removed part markings to avoid ordering a visually similar but incorrect item. If your machine has multiple production revisions, confirm the exact model and serial details before finalizing the order. Restores fan, drive, or mechanical movement when airflow or rotation is weak, noisy, or completely stopped. A failing part in this category may cause symptoms like low airflow, motor not starting, and fan not spinning. 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. Before ordering, technicians usually confirm the part number, inspect adjacent components, and test the affected circuit or mechanism. Technicians often test voltage, resistance, bearing condition, and rotation freedom before replacing a motor assembly. A quick inspection of wiring, connectors, mounting hardware, and surrounding components can prevent a repeat failure after replacement. Replacing a failed component with the correct part number helps restore normal operation, reduces repeat callbacks, and supports more reliable troubleshooting outcomes. For ordering, match the part number exactly and compare the removed component to the replacement before installation. That step matters on commercial ice equipment because similar-looking parts can have different ratings, connectors, or mounting details. If you are troubleshooting symptoms such as not turning on, no power, not cooling, not starting, intermittent operation, error code behavior, or ice not dropping, confirming the failed component first will make this replacement more effective.
