This is a direct-replacement motor for Polar Cool 18" and 24" evaporative cooling fans built before 2014. If your older unit is running weak, noisy, or not spinning at all, this motor gets the fan blowing again.

This motor is a genuine Polar Cool replacement part built to restore airflow in older evaporative cooling fans. It is sized and wired to match the original equipment specification for pre-2014 18" and 24" models, so you get the same speed and power output the fan was designed around. Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., for this system, please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.

Critical Fitment & Requirements

  • Speed: 1075 RPM
  • Horsepower: 1/3 HP
  • Frequency: 50/60 Hz
  • Voltage: 120 volts
  • Fits Polar Cool 18" and 24" evaporative cooling fan models manufactured prior to 2014
  • Does NOT fit Polar Cool 18" or 24" fan models manufactured in 2014 or later
Pro-Installer Tip: Swapping this motor without marking the original wire routing is the most common source of a mis-wired reconnect and a fan that runs backward or not at all. Before you disconnect anything, tag each wire or take a photo of the terminal layout, then disconnect power at the source and confirm zero voltage with a multimeter before touching the motor shaft or prop. Reinstall the prop snug against the shaft collar so vibration doesn't work it loose over time — a wobbling prop stresses the new motor bearings and shortens its service life. Follow standard electrical lockout/tagout practice any time you're working on a hard-wired motor circuit.
