The 5300158289 is the evaporator fan motor kit for Frigidaire and compatible refrigerators. The evaporator fan circulates cold air from the evaporator coils throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. When the motor fails, airflow stops and the fridge loses its ability to maintain consistent temperatures — resulting in warm spots, frost buildup, or complete cooling failure. This kit includes the motor and required mounting hardware for a direct drop-in replacement.

✓ Model-Specific Repair Pages

The 5300158289 fits a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, White-Westinghouse, and compatible refrigerator models. The evaporator fan motor is located in the freezer compartment behind the rear panel. Note: the OEM variant (5300158289) is available while stock lasts — once sold out, it will not be restocked. The XPart aftermarket option remains available ongoing.

✓ Common Symptoms Fixed

Refrigerator not cooling properly or warm inside. Freezer not maintaining temperature. Unusual humming, grinding, or squealing noise from the freezer compartment.

✓ Installation Tips

Disconnect power to the refrigerator before beginning any repair. The evaporator fan motor is located in the freezer compartment behind the rear access panel. Remove all freezer contents and shelving, then unscrew the rear panel to access the motor. Disconnect the wiring harness and remove the mounting screws. Install the new motor in the same orientation, reconnect the harness, and reassemble the panel. Restore power and listen for smooth, quiet fan operation. If the fan runs but cooling is still poor, inspect the evaporator coils for frost buildup.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my evaporator fan motor has failed? Open the freezer and listen — you should hear the fan running. If the compressor is running but the fan is silent, or if you hear grinding or squealing from the freezer, the motor has likely failed. You can also test the motor for continuity with a multimeter.
