Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Noisy operation or vibration
• Uneven or inadequate cooling
• Freezer temperature too warm
• Frost buildup associated with reduced evaporator airflow
• Visible cracked, worn, or missing fan blades

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect appliance power before inspection.
• Visually inspect the blade for cracks, missing fins, wear, or contact marks.
• Check whether the blade appears loose or has shifted along the evaporator-motor shaft.
• With power disconnected, check for obvious ice or foreign-object interference around the blade without forcing or bending components.
• If the blade is intact but the fan does not operate, do not assume this part is defective; the motor, wiring, controls, or defrost system may require separate testing.
