Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Refrigerator or freezer section becomes too warm.
• Evaporator-fan area produces unusual or loud noise.
• Little or no airflow is present from the evaporator-fan area.
• Motor does not run when the refrigerator calls for cooling.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power before accessing the evaporator-fan area.
• After removing only the necessary freezer contents and access panel, visually check whether the fan blade is obstructed by ice or foreign material.
• With power disconnected, gently rotate the fan blade by hand; it should turn freely without binding. Do not force it.
• If the blade turns freely but the motor does not operate during a cooling call, have a qualified technician check the motor circuit and connector voltage.
• If appropriate for the appliance service procedure, check motor-winding continuity with a multimeter while the refrigerator is unplugged; lack of continuity indicates a motor-circuit fault, but continuity alone does not prove the motor is the cause.
