The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for circulating air over the evaporator coils, which helps to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. It operates at a power requirement of 115V, 60Hz, and 0.14A, featuring a shaft that measures 1/8" in diameter and 5/8" in length. 

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include electrical failures, wear and tear from continuous use, or obstruction from debris that hinders the fan's movement. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to uneven cooling and compromised performance of the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• Inconsistent temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
• Unusual noises coming from the fan area
• The refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This grommet isolates the refrigerator's fan motor from its mounting bracket to reduce vibration and noise while keeping the motor secure. Replacing worn or missing grommets helps stop rattles and prevents the fan blade from rubbing.

• Cushions the fan motor to maintain proper alignment and clearance
• Absorbs vibration to help reduce humming, buzzing, or rattling sounds
• Helps keep the motor stable so the blade doesn't contact the shroud
• Common signs of failure include excess vibration, noise, or a loose fan motor

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the fan motor area (rear of unit or inside the freezer, depending on model) and support the motor
• Remove mounting hardware and seat the new grommet fully in the bracket/mount
• The fan blade spins freely with even clearance before reassembling and restoring power

The Evaporator Fan Motor Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a crucial component of the refrigerator's cooling system, attached to the evaporator fan motor to circulate air over the evaporator coils. This circulation helps distribute cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures and efficient operation.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Blade include:

• Unusual noise coming from the fan area, indicating the blade may be hitting another component or is unbalanced,
• Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments,
• The refrigerator running longer than usual to maintain the desired temperature.

Causes of evaporator fan motor blade failure typically include physical damage from interference with other components, wear from continuous use, or buildup of ice or debris that unbalances the blade.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
