This Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located in the freezer compartment, the fan motor helps circulate the cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer sections.
Typical causes for the malfunction of the Evaporator Fan Motor include prolonged use which can wear out the motor over time. Dust and debris accumulation might hinder its operation or reduce its efficiency. Sometimes, frost build-up due to a faulty defrost system can obstruct the fan, leading to its eventual failure.
Symptoms of a problematic Evaporator Fan Motor include:
- Inadequate cooling in the refrigerator or freezer sections.
- Unusual noises, such as humming or grinding, emanate from the freezer area.
- Frost build-up in the freezer compartment.
- The fan not turning on or operating at a reduced speed.
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
