Whirlpool Refrigerator Wire Assembly-Evaporator Fan, Top-Mount Matrix W11609822, Replaces W11314500

Genuine Whirlpool OEM wire harness/assembly used in the evaporator-fan circuit of specified top-mount refrigerators. The assembly supports electrical connections for the evaporator fan and related refrigerator wiring.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Evaporator fan does not run during a cooling call.
• Reduced air circulation that can contribute to poor or uneven cooling.
• Frost or ice buildup may occur when the included thermal-fuse/defrost-heater circuit has an electrical fault.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power before accessing or inspecting the harness.
• Confirm the refrigerator model uses W11609822 before testing or replacement.
• Inspect accessible harness connectors and wire insulation for loose seating, corrosion, pin damage, chafing, or heat damage; do not assume the harness is the failed component.
• Use the model-specific wiring diagram/service information to distinguish a harness or thermal-fuse circuit issue from a failed evaporator fan motor, control, sensor, or defrost component.
• If qualified to perform electrical testing, follow the appliance tech sheet and test only with the specified procedure and safety precautions.
