Glastender 06004231 OEM Evaporator Coil 14 x 6 Inch

Glastender 06004231 OEM Evaporator Coil – 14" x 6"

The Glastender 06004231 Evaporator Coil is a genuine OEM commercial refrigeration component designed for compatible Glastender cooling equipment. This replacement coil is identified as a 14" x 6" evaporator coil for the documented 2-inch wall configuration.

The evaporator coil is a critical part of the refrigeration system because it provides the heat-transfer surface where refrigerant absorbs heat from the refrigerated cabinet. Proper evaporator performance helps the equipment maintain stable cabinet temperatures and dependable commercial refrigeration operation.

When qualified refrigeration diagnosis confirms coil replacement is required, using the correct Glastender OEM 06004231 helps restore the evaporator configuration intended for compatible equipment and reduces the risk of installing a similar-looking but incorrect coil.

What the Glastender 06004231 Evaporator Coil Does

The Glastender 06004231 evaporator coil allows refrigerant to absorb heat from the refrigerated cabinet. As air moves across the coil, heat is transferred from the cabinet air into the refrigerant circuit so the equipment can maintain the intended operating temperature.

Proper evaporator-coil operation helps support:

• Consistent cabinet temperatures
• Proper refrigerant heat absorption
• Reliable cabinet pull-down
• Normal compressor cycling
• Consistent evaporator airflow
• Proper refrigeration performance
• Dependable commercial foodservice operation

14" x 6" OEM Evaporator Coil

This Glastender replacement is identified as a 14-inch x 6-inch evaporator coil. Physical dimensions are an important replacement characteristic, but dimensions alone do not establish compatibility.

Before ordering, verify:

• OEM number 06004231
• 14" x 6" coil size
• 2" wall configuration
• Original refrigerant connection locations
• Mounting arrangement
• Equipment model
• Equipment serial number

Common Signs of an Evaporator Coil Problem

Qualified commercial refrigeration technicians may inspect the Glastender 06004231 when troubleshooting conditions such as:

• Reduced cooling capacity
• Cabinet temperature remains above the intended setting
• Uneven cooling inside the refrigerated cabinet
• Localized frost or ice accumulation on the coil
• Visible corrosion
• Physical damage to fins or tubing
• Oil residue near refrigerant connections
• Confirmed refrigerant leak at the evaporator
• Restricted airflow across the evaporator section
• Long refrigeration-system run times
• Slow temperature recovery after door openings

These symptoms do not automatically confirm evaporator-coil failure. Refrigerant charge, expansion devices, airflow, fan motors, defrost-related components, temperature controls, door sealing, and other refrigeration-system conditions can create similar symptoms.

Diagnosing a Warm Refrigerated Cabinet

A refrigerated cabinet that is running warm does not automatically require an evaporator coil. The complete refrigeration system should be evaluated before replacing a sealed-system component.

Depending on the equipment configuration, technicians may need to inspect:

• Evaporator airflow
• Evaporator fan operation
• Condenser cleanliness
• Refrigerant charge
• Expansion device operation
• Compressor performance
• Temperature-control operation
• Door gasket condition
• Evaporator frost pattern
• Refrigerant-line temperatures and pressures

Frost & Ice on the Evaporator Coil

Frost accumulation does not automatically mean the evaporator coil itself has failed. Ice can develop because of airflow restrictions, fan problems, door-seal leakage, control problems, or refrigeration-system conditions.

When icing is present, inspect:

• Evaporator fan motor
• Fan blade and airflow path
• Door gasket and air infiltration
• Drainage system
• Temperature controls
• Defrost-related components where applicable
• Refrigeration-system operation

Inspect the Evaporator Fan Assembly

Airflow across the coil is essential for proper heat transfer. A dirty coil, failed fan motor, damaged fan blade, or blocked airflow path can create poor refrigeration performance even when the evaporator coil itself is intact.

Technicians should inspect:

• Fan motor operation
• Fan blade condition
• Fan rotation
• Airflow direction
• Coil cleanliness
• Air restrictions
• Ice buildup

Inspect for Refrigerant Leakage

Oil residue, corrosion, tubing damage, or confirmed refrigerant loss can indicate a sealed-system concern. A suspected evaporator leak should be verified by qualified refrigeration personnel using appropriate leak-detection procedures.

Do not replace the coil based solely on frost pattern or cabinet temperature without confirming the refrigeration diagnosis.

Technician Checks Before Ordering

• OEM part number 06004231
• Complete Glastender equipment model
• Equipment serial number
• 14" x 6" coil dimensions
• 2" wall configuration
• Original coil mounting arrangement
• Refrigerant connection locations
• Tube orientation
• Surrounding airflow components
• Original equipment data plate

Do not order by dimensions alone. Evaporator coils can have similar sizes while using different connection locations, mounting arrangements, tubing configurations, refrigerant applications, and equipment fitment.

Commercial Refrigeration Applications

Glastender commercial refrigeration equipment is commonly used in demanding beverage and foodservice environments including:

• Bars
• Restaurants
• Hotels
• Nightclubs
• Commercial kitchens
• Beverage-service stations
• Catering operations
• Foodservice facilities

Installation & Sealed-System Service Notes

Evaporator-coil replacement requires opening the refrigeration circuit and should be performed by qualified commercial refrigeration personnel.

Before removing the original Glastender 06004231 coil, document:

• Refrigerant line connections
• Coil orientation
• Mounting points
• Airflow direction
• Relationship to the fan assembly
• Drainage arrangement

After installation, the refrigeration system should be serviced according to proper commercial refrigeration procedures, including appropriate leak testing, evacuation, charging, and operating verification.

Final checks should include:

• Refrigerant leaks
• Evaporator airflow
• Frost pattern
• Cabinet pull-down
• Operating pressures
• Superheat / system performance where applicable
• Final cabinet temperature

Why Correct Glastender OEM Identification Matters

Commercial evaporator coils can look very similar while using different physical dimensions, refrigerant connections, tubing layouts, mounting points, and equipment applications.

Using Glastender OEM part number 06004231 together with the 14" x 6" dimensions and documented 2-inch wall configuration provides strong identification points when comparing the replacement with the original coil.
