Drives the fan assembly to circulate air through the refrigeration system during ice machine operation. The Hoshizaki FM116A Fan Motor Kit operates on a 115V electrical supply and converts electrical energy into rotational motion for the connected fan. The rotating fan moves air across the condenser area, helping dissipate heat generated during the refrigeration process. Consistent fan operation supports the airflow required for stable refrigeration performance and normal ice production.
Airflow Generation:
Converts electrical power into mechanical rotation that drives the fan blade. As the fan rotates, it moves air through the condenser area, supporting heat transfer from the refrigeration system to the surrounding air. Adequate airflow helps maintain the operating conditions required during repeated cooling cycles.
Motor Operation:
Provides continuous rotational output when energized by the equipment's electrical system. Stable motor operation allows the connected fan to maintain consistent airflow, while intermittent operation or abnormal motor behaviour can reduce airflow through the condenser area.
Replacement Guidelines:
Replace the Fan Motor Kit if the motor fails to start, develops abnormal noise, operates inconsistently, or shows physical or electrical damage. The part number FM116A and 115V voltage rating should be verified before replacement to ensure the correct fan motor kit is selected. Replace the fan motor kit if deterioration affects motor operation, fan rotation, electrical connection, airflow, or normal equipment operation.
Common Failure Symptoms:
- Fan does not operate during the expected equipment cycle.
- Airflow from the fan is reduced or absent.
- Fan operation becomes inconsistent during equipment use.
- Motor-related operation produces unusual mechanical noise.
- Equipment airflow is insufficient for the intended operating cycle.
Equipment Compatibility:
The HOSHIZAKI FM116A Fan Motor Kit is intended for equipment that specifies part number FM116A. Verify part number FM116A against the existing fan motor and confirm the applicable equipment model using the equipment parts diagram, owner's manual, or manufacturer's documentation.
