Danby Refrigerator Evaporative Fan Motor 1.01.06.01.051R

Danby evaporative fan motor documented for specified Danby refrigerator and upright-freezer models.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Refrigerator or freezer compartment becomes warmer than expected.
• Uneven temperatures or reduced airflow from the vents.
• Fan noise, intermittent operation, or no fan sound while the compressor is running.
• Frost or ice around the fan can obstruct rotation and mimic a motor failure.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power before accessing the fan area.
• Confirm the appliance is calling for cooling and listen for evaporator-fan operation; do not assume a silent fan proves the motor is defective.
• With power disconnected, visually check for ice, debris, or a displaced fan blade obstructing rotation.
• Inspect the motor connector and wiring for visible looseness, damage, or corrosion.
• If the fan remains inoperative after obstruction and connection checks, use the applicable model service procedure or a qualified technician to distinguish the motor from a control, wiring, or defrost-system fault.
