Beverage-Air 501-076B Evaporator Fan Motor 120V

Beverage-Air 501-076B Evaporator Fan Motor – 120V

Beverage-Air 501-076B is an evaporator fan motor used in commercial Beverage-Air refrigeration equipment. The evaporator fan motor drives the fan blade that moves refrigerated air across the evaporator coil and throughout the cabinet, helping the refrigeration system maintain consistent product temperatures.

A weak, intermittent, noisy, or failed evaporator fan motor can reduce airflow across the evaporator coil and cause uneven cabinet temperatures, longer refrigeration cycles, or inadequate cooling. When servicing a Beverage-Air unit with an evaporator airflow problem, verify the equipment model, existing motor, electrical requirements, fan operation, and OEM part number before ordering.

Part Details

• Manufacturer: Beverage-Air
• Part Number: 501-076B
• Part Type: Evaporator Fan Motor
• Voltage: 120V
• Application: Commercial Refrigeration
• System Location: Evaporator / refrigerated cabinet air circulation system

What the Evaporator Fan Motor Does

The evaporator fan motor is responsible for operating the fan that circulates air across the evaporator coil. As the refrigeration system removes heat from the cabinet, the fan helps distribute the cooled air throughout the refrigerated space. Proper evaporator airflow is important for maintaining stable temperatures and efficient refrigeration system operation.

Common Symptoms of a Failing Evaporator Fan Motor

• Evaporator fan does not run
• Fan operates intermittently
• Unusual humming, grinding, or bearing noise
• Reduced airflow inside the refrigerated cabinet
• Uneven cabinet temperatures
• Cabinet temperature rises even though the refrigeration system is operating
• Excessive frost or ice developing around the evaporator area due to inadequate airflow
• Fan blade turns slowly or has difficulty starting

These symptoms can also be caused by electrical, control, fan blade, wiring, or refrigeration-system problems. Diagnose the equipment before replacing the motor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Beverage-Air 501-076B?

Beverage-Air 501-076B is an evaporator fan motor used to operate the evaporator fan in compatible commercial refrigeration equipment.

What does the 501-076B evaporator fan motor do?

The motor drives the evaporator fan, moving air across the evaporator coil and circulating refrigerated air through the cabinet.

What are common signs that an evaporator fan motor is failing?

Common symptoms include a fan that will not run, intermittent operation, abnormal motor noise, reduced cabinet airflow, uneven temperatures, or a fan blade that turns slowly or has difficulty starting.

Is Beverage-Air 501-076B a 120V motor?

Yes. Published parts information identifies Beverage-Air 501-076B as a 120-volt evaporator fan motor. Always verify the electrical information on the existing motor and equipment before installation.

How do I know if 501-076B fits my Beverage-Air unit?

Use the complete model and serial number from the equipment data plate and verify the required OEM part number before ordering. Model families can contain production changes, so model number alone should not be the only method used to confirm a service part.

Professional Service Note

Disconnect electrical power before inspecting or servicing refrigeration equipment. Evaporator fan problems should be properly diagnosed because loss of airflow can also result from a damaged fan blade, ice obstruction, wiring problem, control issue, or another component in the refrigeration system.
