Richard L Rutherfordton , NC August 18, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Upright Freezer MQU1556AEW Maytag Freezer Mqu1556aew: When freezer would start the evaporator fan it would make noise. How to replace Evaporator Fan Motor. The fan blade had vibrated down the shaft of motor and was hitting the fan supports. I replaced motor and new fan blade. The motor was still operating but since I had everything opened up I changed out the motor anyway. Freezer working fine now. The only unforeseen problem is there was a black wire that had to be transferred to the three prong wiring harness. 19 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
