The cooling fan is a component of the New Contra pump drive that dissipates the heat generated by the operation of the electric motor through air circulation. Without a functioning fan there is a risk of overheating and damage to the windings, which would necessitate replacement of the entire motor.
The original shape and dimensions of the blades are designed for the specific motor of the New Contra pump, so the air flow matches the thermal requirements of the drive even at full power. Replacing a worn or broken fan is a quick and economical alternative to a complete motor replacement.
The part is made of plastic resistant to temperature fluctuations and vibrations. We recommend a regular inspection of the fan’s condition during seasonal pump maintenance.
