Samsung DA31-00016A Evaporator Fan Motor, Replaces DA31-00016A

The Samsung DA31-00016A Evaporator Fan Motor is designed to circulate cold air from the evaporator coils throughout the refrigerator compartment. When this motor fails, the fridge loses cooling efficiency, frost accumulates on the evaporator, and you may hear unusual noise from the freezer section. Confirm fitment using your complete model number before ordering.

Is This the Right Part?

Confirm the complete model number before ordering. Similar fan motors may use different connectors, blade pitch, shaft diameter, or mounting configurations.

Common Symptoms

• Refrigerator not cooling or warm inside
• Frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils
• Loud humming, grinding, or squealing noise from freezer
• Fan blade spinning slowly or not at all

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the fan blade spins freely by hand — replace if seized
• Test motor voltage at the connector with a multimeter
• Check the evaporator coils for heavy frost that may be blocking airflow
• Inspect the wiring harness and connector for corrosion or damage
