Replacing an Evaporator Fan Motor in a Medical Refrigerator at Arrowhead Medical Center
Replacing an Evaporator Fan Motor in a Medical Refrigerator at Arrowhead Medical Center
At American Cool, Heat, Air & Commercial Refrigeration, we understand the critical role that medical refrigeration plays in healthcare facilities. A properly functioning medical refrigerator ensures that vaccines, medications, and other temperature-sensitive materials remain stored at safe temperatures. Our recent job at Arrowhead Medical Center in Colton, CA involved replacing a faulty evaporator fan motor in a medical refrigerator to restore its efficiency and reliability.
Diagnosing the Issue
When our team arrived at the site, the medical staff reported that the refrigerator was not cooling efficiently. We conducted a thorough inspection and identified a malfunctioning evaporator fan motor—a crucial component that circulates cold air within the unit.
Key signs of the issue included:
✅ Reduced airflow inside the refrigerator
✅ Uneven cooling or temperature fluctuations
✅ Unusual noises from the fan area
Given the importance of medical refrigeration, prompt repair was necessary to prevent potential damage to stored medical supplies.
Replacing the Evaporator Fan Motor
Our team proceeded with a professional replacement of the evaporator fan motor. The process included:
🔹 Powering Down & Safety Checks: Ensuring all electrical connections were safely disconnected before proceeding.
🔹 Removing the Faulty Motor: Carefully dismantling the evaporator section to access and remove the defective motor.
🔹 Installing the New Fan Motor: Securing the new motor in place and reconnecting all wiring to manufacturer specifications.
🔹 System Testing: Powering up the refrigerator and verifying proper airflow, temperature stability, and motor performance.
Ensuring Reliable Medical Refrigeration
After replacing the evaporator fan motor, we monitored the refrigerator to confirm that:
✔️ Air was circulating properly throughout the unit
✔️ Temperature readings were stable and within the required range
✔️ The new motor was operating efficiently without excessive noise
With the repair successfully completed, the Arrowhead Medical Center staff could once again rely on their refrigeration system to preserve critical medical supplies safely.
The Importance of Regular Maintenance & Repairs
Medical refrigeration units require routine maintenance to prevent failures that can compromise sensitive inventory. Regular inspections and timely repairs can extend equipment lifespan and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns.
