How to Troubleshoot & Replace Samsung AP5326111 / DA31-00146J Refrigerator Fan Motor

Easily removed the back panel inside the fridge and removed the fan housing replaced the fan and the thermal sensor. Ordered the parts one day and got then all by the next day using standard shipping. Prices better than most sites I visited. 

I removed the panel on the in side of the refrig,and unpluged the fan motor and checked OHMS reading,the OHMS reading looked good ,but the motor did not spin freely as i thought it should.I also check for voltage at the control board found i had no power. so i just orderd the new board and fan motor that way i know im good to go, it all worked out good. i woud also like to say thanks to all the people at appliance parts pros for all ther help.i have to say this is a number 1 company, when i need more parts this is my place to go. Thanks again Rocky 

Replaced fan. 

Replacement of fan motor 

Replaced the fresh food compartment evaporator fan after viewing the video. Quick and simple fix solved all the problems! 

At first, I got a diagnosis from a repair tech. After comparing his prices to AppliancePartsPros.com I decided to give the repair a try myself. I followed along with your great how-to videos and actually fixed it! 

Wasted a bunch of time on the Samsung helpline. Wasted a bunch of time waiting for the Samsung repairman to call and schedule the repair. Gave up on them. Wasted a bunch of time trying to find appliance repair in our area. Either no callback or was told they don’t work on Samsung appliances. Decided to try and fix it myself. Googled the problem and found several sites with suggestions. Narrowed it down to needing to replace the evaporator fan motor. Googled that part and AppliancePartPros.com came up. Contacted them and ended up speaking with a very knowledgeable fellow that found the correct part for my model and a video of easy installation. The video was a lifesaver. Paid for one-day shipping and had the part before noon the next day. Part worked and the refrigerator ran great Super happy with the whole experience with AppliancePartsPros.com. 

Utilized the AppliancePartsPros.com online videos to help figure out problems and disassemble parts correctly step by step.
