Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Freezer or refrigerator section not cooling properly
• Freezer cold while refrigerator section is warm
• Little or no airflow from the evaporator-air outlets
• Unusual squealing, chirping, grinding, or other noise from the freezer area
• Fan blade does not turn freely or the motor runs unusually slowly

Check Before Replacing

• With the refrigerator unplugged, inspect the evaporator-fan blade for ice obstruction, physical damage, or binding; do not force a frozen blade.
• Listen for abnormal fan noise during normal operation, while recognizing that noise alone does not prove the motor is defective.
• After confirming the appliance is safely powered down, inspect the motor connector and visible wiring for loose, damaged, or heat-affected connections.
• If the fan does not operate, have a qualified technician test the motor and its supply circuit; Whirlpool service documentation cautions that energized voltage measurements should be performed only by authorized technicians.
