Product Description
The CONTINENTAL REFRIGER 40396 is an evaporator fan motor designed for commercial refrigeration equipment. Operating at 240 volts and 50 Hz, this motor drives the evaporator fan that circulates air across the evaporator coil, maintaining consistent cabinet temperatures in commercial refrigeration units. The motor is configured for clockwise rotation when viewed from the lead end (CWLE), which determines correct airflow direction across the coil. Installation is typically performed by a commercial refrigeration technician as part of routine maintenance or component replacement service.
This evaporator fan motor is suited for commercial refrigeration applications where 240-volt, 50 Hz power is present, such as reach-in coolers, refrigerated prep tables, and similar commercial refrigeration cabinets. Its 50 Hz rating makes it appropriate for equipment operating on international or export-market electrical systems. The CWLE rotation designation is critical to match when selecting a replacement to ensure proper airflow direction within the refrigerated cabinet.
Key Features
- 240-volt, 50 Hz rating for commercial refrigeration applications
- Clockwise lead-end (CWLE) rotation for correct evaporator airflow direction
- Direct OEM replacement designed for Continental Refrigeration equipment
- Engineered for continuous-duty operation in refrigerated cabinet environments
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement evaporator fan motor for Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigeration equipment requiring a 240-volt, 50 Hz, clockwise lead-end motor.
Installation Notes
Evaporator fan motor replacement should be performed by a qualified commercial refrigeration technician. Power down and lock out the unit at the disconnect before beginning work. Confirm that the replacement motor rotation direction matches the original before securing the assembly, as reversed airflow will reduce cooling efficiency. Verify voltage and frequency ratings against the unit nameplate before energizing.
