✅ 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.

- Disconnect electrical power before servicing and protect or remove perishable food as appropriate.
- Access is typically through the freezer or evaporator-area back panel; the exact access procedure depends on the refrigerator model.
- Disconnect the motor harness before removing the old motor.
- Reinstall the motor in the same orientation and reconnect the harness securely; confirm that the fan blade is not obstructed before reassembly.
- Use the model-specific service information for panel removal, mounting details, and post-installation testing.
