LG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor EAU65058315 – Fix Warm Fridge, No Cooling & Frost Buildup Fast
Your LG refrigerator is warm, not cooling properly, or building up excessive frost — and the evaporator fan motor is almost always the cause. In most LG refrigerators, the evaporator fan motor circulates cold air from the evaporator coils throughout the fresh food and freezer compartments. When it fails, cold air stops circulating, temperatures rise, and frost accumulates on the evaporator coils. ⚡ Common failure point in LG-built refrigerators. Part EAU65058315 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full cold air circulation and brings temperatures back to normal.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Your LG refrigerator powers on and the compressor runs
- ✔ The freezer may still be partially cold but the fridge section is warm
- ✔ You can hear the compressor running but no fan noise from the freezer section
- ✔ ONLY problem is warm temperatures, poor cooling, or frost buildup on the evaporator

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Refrigerator section warm despite compressor running
- Freezer partially cold but not reaching set temperature
- No airflow felt from vents inside the fridge or freezer
- Excessive frost or ice buildup on the back wall of the freezer
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the cooling system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this evaporator fan motor restores normal cooling immediately.
📦 Part Details
- Part Number: EAU65058315
- Type: Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
- Replaces: EAU63103209 — no modification required
- Brands: LG
Defrost the evaporator coils completely before installing the new motor. If the fan failed due to ice buildup jamming the blade, the coils are likely heavily frosted. Installing a new motor into a frosted evaporator will cause it to fail again quickly. Manually defrost or run a forced defrost cycle first, then install the new EAU65058315.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: Moderate — 30–45 minutes. Disconnect power before servicing. Access the evaporator fan by removing the freezer back panel. Disconnect the wire harness from the old motor, remove the mounting screws, and transfer the fan blade to the new motor. Mount the new EAU65058315, reconnect the harness, reinstall the panel, restore power, and confirm airflow from the freezer vents within a few minutes of startup.

💡 Pro Tip
The fan blade from the old motor must be transferred to the new EAU65058315 — it is not included. Use a blade puller or gently rock the blade off the shaft; never pry against the motor housing. Forcing the blade can crack it or damage the new motor shaft. Once transferred, confirm the blade spins freely with no wobble before reinstalling the panel.
