Traulsen 338-13473-00 Evaporator Fan Blade, 5-1/2 Inch, CCW

Traulsen 338-13473-00 Evaporator Fan Blade, 5-1/2 Inch, CCW

The Traulsen 338-13473-00 evaporator fan blade, 5-1/2 inch, ccw is a commercial replacement part identified by the manufacturer reference shown below. It moves air through the evaporator area when driven by the correct fan motor. Correct identification matters because components that share a general appearance can differ in mounting, electrical characteristics, dimensions or operating function.

Confirm the viewing convention for the CCW rotation marking, hub fit and shaft attachment. Diameter alone does not establish the correct airflow direction.

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

Symptoms to Investigate

Reasons to inspect this component include a cracked blade, rubbing, vibration, reduced airflow, or a damaged hub. These symptoms are diagnostic clues, not proof that this part has failed.

Technician Diagnostic Checks

• Inspect blade clearance with power isolated
• Check the motor shaft and blade attachment
• Inspect ice buildup and airflow restrictions
• Confirm the correct blade pitch, rotation and motor direction

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 338-13473-00 and the complete equipment model and serial number.
• Compare the existing part with the listed specifications and mounting arrangement.
• Confirm the viewing convention for the CCW rotation marking, hub fit and shaft attachment. Diameter alone does not establish the correct airflow direction.
• 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 clearance before restoring power. Confirm smooth rotation and intended airflow without vibration or rubbing.

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.
