USI Alpine 5000 Evaporator Fan Motor — Refrigeration Module Fan
Replacement evaporator fan motor for the refrigeration module on U-Select-It / USI Alpine 5000 glass-front refrigerated merchandisers (ST5000 / VT5000 and related Alpine II cabinets). This fan moves air across the evaporator coil so the cabinet can pull down and hold temperature.
Fits / used on:
- USI Alpine 5000 series refrigerated food & beverage vendors
- Common cabinet models: 3517, 3518, 3519, 3520, 3521, 3545
- Typical OEM-style part: 4214996 (110V)
- Also used on matching Alpine refrigeration decks with Super 1/3 HP sealed systems (R-134a / R-513a)
What it is: Black axial evaporator fan with integrated motor and two blue power leads. Mounts in the refrigeration module on the evaporator air path (not the condenser / reverse-on-startup condenser fan). Moves cold air through the duct and cabinet.
Common reason to replace: Warm product with compressor running; no airflow at the evaporator; noisy, seized, or clicking fan; ice buildup from poor air movement; health-control lockouts from high cabinet temp.
Install notes:
- Disconnect power first.
- Match voltage to the machine (115V / 60 Hz domestic vs 230V / 50 Hz export).
- Confirm rotation and airflow direction before mounting.
- Seat the fan in the original mount/shroud so it does not rub the housing.
- After install, verify evaporator airflow and that the cabinet pulls down with the door closed.
Direct replacement for techs repairing an Alpine 5000 that still cools at the compressor but will not circulate air through the evaporator.
