Parts for Whirlpool 3XRA720: 10 - Air Flow Parts

Fixes uneven cooling and warm refrigerator temperatures caused by poor airflow. This fan housing directs cold air from freezer to fridge. Easy 30-minute fix.

This fan motor retainer secures the refrigerator's fan motor to its mounting bracket or shroud, reducing vibration and keeping the fan aligned so air circulates properly for consistent cooling.

• Secures the fan motor to its bracket or shroud
• Maintains proper fan alignment and clearance for consistent airflow
• Helps reduce vibration, buzzing, or rattling from a loose motor
• A worn or missing retainer may present as scraping fan noises or uneven airflow

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing; allow moving parts to stop and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the fan area per your model
• Transfer the motor into the new retainer and reinstall using existing hardware as required
• Ensure the fan blade spins freely and clears the shroud before restoring power

This fan scroll gasket seals the evaporator/fan housing to prevent air bypass and maintain proper airflow through the evaporator. Replacing a worn gasket helps restore efficient cooling and reduces frost buildup. What it does:

• Seals the fan scroll/evaporator housing to direct cold air through the evaporator fins
• Prevents air leaks that can cause reduced cooling or temperature fluctuations
• Helps reduce frost or ice buildup by ensuring consistent airflow over the coil
• Can reduce abnormal fan noise caused by air turbulence around a damaged seal

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Remove the evaporator/fan housing cover and carefully pull out the old gasket.
• Clean mating surfaces of debris and residue for a flush seal before installing the new gasket.
• Seat the gasket fully around the scroll; reassemble panels and restore power to test operation.
