Is This the Right Part?
Part Number5304523502
ManufacturerFrigidaire
Appliance TypeRefrigerator
Part TypeEvaporator Fan Motor
Common Symptoms
- Refrigerator does not cool properly
- Fresh-food compartment is warm or has weak airflow
- Unusual evaporator-fan noise
- Fan blade does not start or stops intermittently
- Frost or ice buildup around the evaporator fan that prevents rotation
Check Before Replacing
- Unplug the refrigerator before inspecting the fan motor or wiring.
- With power disconnected and the fan accessible, verify that the fan blade turns freely by hand; binding or rubbing can indicate a motor or obstruction problem.
- Inspect the fan area for ice or debris interfering with blade movement.
- If appropriate for the model and service documentation, check motor-winding continuity with a multimeter; an open winding does not confirm that other refrigerator cooling components are functional.
- Check the wiring connector for a loose connection or visible damage without applying power to exposed terminals.
Pro Tip
A failed evaporator fan motor can produce a warm fresh-food compartment even when the freezer still feels cold; verify that ice buildup or an airflow obstruction is not preventing the fan from turning before condemning the motor.
