Norlake 035497 Axial Fan, 115V, 50/60Hz

Norlake 035497 Axial Fan, 115V, 50/60Hz

The Norlake 035497 axial fan, 115v, 50/60hz is a commercial replacement part identified by the manufacturer reference shown below. It drives airflow through its assigned refrigeration compartment or heat-transfer area. Correct identification matters because components that share a general appearance can differ in mounting, electrical characteristics, dimensions or operating function.

Match airflow orientation, frame mounting and connector style. Confirm the viewing convention for the CW rotation reference against the original fan.

Use the equipment model, serial number and existing part identification together when selecting this axial fan motor. The listed specifications describe the researched reference; they do not establish universal compatibility across Norlake equipment. Inspect the related system before ordering so a separate wiring, alignment, airflow or drainage problem is not mistaken for failure of this component.

Function & Application

This axial fan motor drives airflow through its assigned refrigeration compartment or heat-transfer area. Its role should be checked against the equipment parts diagram and service documentation, including any production changes affecting the assembly.

Compatibility & Ordering Reference

A complete model compatibility list has not been established for this part. Confirm the part-number reference against the equipment parts diagram and serial-number range before ordering.

Do not assume that another part number supersedes this reference unless the equipment manufacturer documents that replacement for the specific unit.

Symptoms to Investigate

Reasons to inspect this component include a fan that will not start, abnormal noise, intermittent rotation, or inadequate airflow. These symptoms are diagnostic clues, not proof that this part has failed.

Technician Diagnostic Checks

• Inspect the fan and guard for obstructions with power isolated
• Check supply and control signals
• Inspect wiring and mounting
• Confirm voltage, frequency and airflow orientation before replacement

Document the findings before replacing parts. Use the equipment service procedure and correct test equipment; component appearance alone does not establish a service diagnosis.

Before You Order

• Confirm manufacturer reference 035497 and the complete equipment model and serial number.
• Compare the existing part with the listed specifications and mounting arrangement.
• Match airflow orientation, frame mounting and connector style. Confirm the viewing convention for the CW rotation reference against the original fan.
• Verify whether related fasteners, fittings, keys, sensors or other service items are included or required separately.
• Confirm the supplied item and its provenance before releasing the order.

Installation & Return-to-Service Checks

Service should be performed by personnel qualified for the equipment and component. Isolate relevant power and support moving parts before disassembly. Record the original mounting, connections and routing, then follow the equipment-specific service procedure.

Verify smooth starting, unobstructed rotation and correct airflow. Refit guards before returning the equipment to operation.

Maintenance & Related Components

During routine service, inspect the surrounding mounting points and the related components identified in the diagnostic checks. Correct the cause of wear, moisture, vibration or misalignment before fitting a replacement. Use cleaning and maintenance methods specified for the equipment and materials.
