When the evaporator fan motor fails, cold air stops moving. The freezer may still feel cold — the compressor is running — but without the fan circulating air through the evaporator coils and into the fresh food section, your fridge warms up and your food starts to spoil. The WPW10464673 is the brushless DC evaporator fan motor that restores full air circulation. Note: Fan blade is NOT included — reuse your existing blade.
Symptoms of a Failed Evaporator Fan Motor
- Refrigerator not cooling — fresh food section warm while freezer is cold
- Loud grinding or squealing noise from the freezer (bearing failure)
- No airflow felt from freezer vents into the fridge compartment
- Frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils (poor air circulation)
- Refrigerator running constantly but never reaching set temperature
- Fan motor error codes on the display panel
- Intermittent cooling — fridge works sometimes but not consistently

Installation Notes
-
Skill Level: Moderate — requires removing freezer contents, shelves, and evaporator cover
-
Always unplug the refrigerator before servicing — have coolers ready for frozen food
- Photograph all wiring, connector positions, and motor orientation before disconnecting anything
- Remove fan blade from old motor shaft (retaining clip or screw) — you will reuse this blade
- Disconnect the 2-pin connector by pressing the release tab — do not pull on wires
- Install fan blade on new motor shaft and verify it spins freely without rubbing
- Monitor temperatures for 24–48 hours after installation to confirm proper cooling
- If frost returns quickly after replacement, inspect the defrost system as a co-failure

💡 Pro Tip — Check the Defrost System Too:
A failed evaporator fan motor is often accompanied by heavy frost buildup on the evaporator coils — which means the defrost heater or defrost thermostat may also be failing. If you find the coils completely iced over when you pull the evaporator cover, inspect the defrost system before closing everything back up. Replacing the defrost heater and thermostat in the same visit prevents a callback within weeks.
