Description

This shield fan is the molded airflow shroud that directs cooling air inside the refrigerator to improve heat transfer and maintain proper temperature control. It helps channel air from the fan motor to the evaporator or condenser area for efficient operation. What it does:

• Guides and concentrates airflow from the fan to the evaporator/condenser for consistent cooling
• Helps prevent recirculation of warm air that can reduce cooling performance
• Can reduce vibration-related noise when mounted correctly
• Worn, cracked, or broken shields may contribute to uneven temperatures or frost buildup

What's included:

• One shield fan

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; follow all safety precautions
• Remove access panels and shelves as required to reach the fan assembly
• Inspect the fan motor, mounting hardware, and surrounding ducting for damage while replacing the shield
• Use proper fasteners and ensure the shield is seated correctly to avoid contact with the rotating fan blade
