Parts for Electrolux E23CS78ESS0: 11 - Controls Parts

The Evaporator Fan Blade is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators, designed to circulate air over the refrigerator coils and through the food compartment. The fan blade works in conjunction with the evaporator fan motor, and together, they play a key role in the cooling process by distributing cool air evenly throughout the refrigerator and freezer.

Causes of a bad evaporator fan blade can include physical damage, such as cracks or bends in the blade itself, which can occur over time due to wear and tear or during cleaning and maintenance. 

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Blade include:

• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, such as humming or buzzing
• The refrigerator or freezer compartment is not cooling adequately

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM replacement part for Electrolux refrigerators. It is responsible for circulating air throughout the refrigerator’s interior to maintain consistent cooling and optimal temperature distribution. This motor works to move air over the evaporator coils, aiding in the cooling process and ensuring that the refrigerator and freezer compartments remain at the desired temperature.

Over time, the evaporator fan motor can wear out or fail due to mechanical stress, dust or debris accumulation, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning motor can lead to uneven cooling or inadequate refrigeration, impacting the overall performance of the appliance.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• Unusual noises such as rattling or humming
• Inconsistent or inadequate cooling
• Ice buildup in the freezer or refrigerator compartments
• The refrigerator running constantly without reaching the desired temperature

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

NOTE: THE CHANGE FROM 4-WIRE TO 3-WIRE DOES NOT IMPACT PART
