Jenn-Air Motor

Freezer not cooling or ice maker stopped working? This evaporator fan motor restores cold air circulation when the original hums, won't spin, or fails.

Fix a laundry center that won't spin, agitate, or hums without moving. This drive motor replacement requires moderate skill and 2-3 hours to install.

The Motor-Fan is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool kitchen ranges. Located within the back wall of the oven cavity, the motor fan works to circulate air and remove excess moisture and smoke during the cooking process. Proper motor-fan functioning helps ensure efficient oven ventilation and performance.

Symptoms of a bad motor fan include:

• Excessive smoke or moisture left in the oven after cooking  
• Oven taking longer to preheat and cook due to poor air circulation
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises emanating from the fan

Causes of failure are normally wear and tear of motor windings or fan blade bearings from years of continuous use. Overheating can potentially reduce lifespan as well. 

This OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This evaporator fan motor drives the freezer fan that circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and through the ducts. Replacing a weak or noisy motor restores proper airflow for consistent cooling and defrost performance.

• Circulates cold air from the evaporator through the freezer and fresh food compartments
• Helps maintain even temperatures and quicker recovery after door openings
• Common failure symptoms: warm refrigerator section, little/no airflow from vents, loud humming/squealing or intermittent fan operation, and frost/ice buildup on the freezer's rear panel
• Also known as the freezer fan motor or "Motor-Evap"

• Disconnect power; remove shelves/drawers and the rear interior freezer panel to access the fan
• Note wiring and mounting orientation; unplug connectors and remove the old motor
• Transfer the fan blade and any rubber isolators/mounting hardware from the original motor if needed
• Ensure blade orientation and wire routing clear the blades; test operation before reassembly

Fixes ice maker not working or refrigerator running warm. This ice box fan motor circulates cold air to the ice maker compartment in your refrigerator.

Fixes ice dispenser not dispensing or auger not turning. This motor assembly drives the auger shaft that moves ice from bin to chute. Moderate difficulty.

Fixes poor ventilation and smoke removal issues in downdraft ranges. This blower motor removes heat, smoke, and odors from your kitchen by drawing air.

This is the blower motor used in the downdraft ventilation system of a range. It powers the fan that draws smoke, steam, and cooking odors down and away from the cooktop surface. Replace this motor if the downdraft vent makes unusual noises, vibrates excessively, runs intermittently, or fails to turn on at all.

If your microwave overheats or ventilation has stopped working, the fan motor likely needs replacement. Circulates air to regulate temperature.

Fix a refrigerator that's not cooling properly or running constantly with a new condenser fan motor. This part helps dissipate heat from the system.

This is the condenser fan motor located near the compressor at the bottom or rear of the refrigerator. It circulates air over the condenser coils to dissipate heat and maintain efficient cooling. Replace this motor if the refrigerator is running warm, the compressor is overheating, or you no longer hear the fan running when the compressor is on.

Refrigerator not cooling evenly or running constantly? This evaporator fan motor circulates cold air throughout the compartment to restore proper temperature.

Replace a noisy or failed cooktop ventilation fan with this blower motor. Restores proper air circulation. Moderate DIY repair for electric cooktops.

Turntable not rotating or making noise? This microwave motor drives smooth turntable rotation. Common fix when the plate stops turning or pauses.

This fan assembly circulates air through the appliance to support proper cooling and ventilation, restoring airflow and helping the unit maintain even temperatures and efficient operation. What it does:

• Moves air through the appliance to aid cooling, ventilation, or drying functions
• Helps prevent overheating by maintaining airflow across coils or heat sources
• Can reduce abnormal operating temperatures and airflow-related performance issues
• Restores proper fan operation when the original wheel or motor fails

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Handle fan blades carefully to avoid damage or imbalance
• Inspect mounting hardware and wiring for wear; replace any damaged fasteners or connectors
