Customer Questions and Answers for Evaporator Fan Motor Assembly (Refrigerator) by Lg

This evaporator fan motor assembly circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and throughout the cabinet to keep temperatures even. Replacing a worn motor restores airflow and helps reduce warm spots and grinding or squealing fan noise. What it does:

• Circulates air across the evaporator and through vents to cool the refrigerator and freezer compartments
• Helps maintain uniform temperatures and consistent airflow throughout the cabinet
• Common failure signs: weak or no airflow, refrigerator section warmer than the freezer, or whining/rattling fan noise
• Fan typically runs only with the door switch closed; lack of operation with the switch closed can indicate a failed motor

• Includes: 1 evaporator fan motor assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; interior panels and liners can have sharp edges
• Access is typically behind the rear panel of the freezer or fresh food section (varies by model)
• Disconnect the wiring harness, remove the old assembly, and install the new one securely with wiring routed clear of the blade
• Restore power and depress the door switch to verify fan operation and airflow
