Genuine Whirlpool OEM evaporator fan motor that circulates air through the refrigerator evaporator system and compartments.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Refrigerator or freezer temperatures becoming too warm
• One compartment cooling poorly while the other remains colder
• Reduced airflow from refrigerator vents
• Unusual humming, rattling, or fan-area noise
• Motor or fan not operating when cooling is called for

Check Before Replacing

• With the refrigerator safely unplugged, visually inspect the evaporator-fan area for ice or debris that could obstruct the blade.
• With power disconnected, gently check whether the fan blade turns freely without rubbing or binding.
• After restoring power, listen for abnormal fan noise and observe whether the fan operates when the appliance’s normal cooling controls call for circulation, if accessible without removing energized covers.
• If electrical testing is appropriate for the exact refrigerator model, follow that model’s service documentation and use a qualified technician; do not probe energized wiring unless trained to do so.
