Hussmann 29-S-297 Fan Guard - Commercial Equipment Replacement

Hussmann 29-S-297 Fan Guard

The Hussmann 29-S-297 Fan Guard is a commercial refrigeration airflow protection component used around fan assemblies where technicians need to shield the rotating blade while keeping air moving through the refrigerated space or equipment compartment.

What this part does

In a refrigeration cabinet, display case, ice machine, or reach-in unit, the fan guard protects the blade path from accidental contact and helps keep nearby wiring, packaging, and service hands away from the moving fan. A damaged or missing guard can create safety risk, airflow noise, rubbing against the fan blade, and service delays when the fan section is inspected.

Commercial equipment application

This listing is focused on Display case refrigeration airflow work in commercial foodservice, restaurant, supermarket, and facility maintenance environments. Use the OEM/MPN 29-S-297 as the primary identifier when comparing against a parts diagram, rating plate, or the failed component.

Verified source detail: 7-1/2 inch plastic

Common replacement situations

Common replacement situations include cracked plastic guards, bent wire guards, broken mounting points, guards rubbing the fan blade, missing guards after prior service work, or air movement problems caused by a loose guard interfering with the blade.

Technician checks before ordering

Before replacement, compare the installed guard diameter, mounting-hole spacing, depth, material, and blade clearance against the original part. Also inspect the fan blade, motor bracket, motor shaft play, and nearby wiring because a guard is often damaged after a blade strike or fan assembly movement.
