Kenmore Elite Refrigerator Motor

The Fan Motor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is essential for circulating air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments to ensure a consistent and even temperature. This air circulation is crucial for proper food preservation and to prevent warm spots or frost buildup, which can occur when air does not circulate properly.

Symptoms of a bad Fan Motor include:

• The refrigerator making unusual noises such as humming or buzzing, which may indicate the motor is struggling.
• Poor cooling performance, with parts of the refrigerator warmer than usual.
• The refrigerator cycling on and off more frequently, which can be a sign of the motor overheating.

Causes of a bad fan motor can include wear and tear from continuous use, accumulation of dust or debris in the fan, or electrical issues such as faulty wiring or a burned-out motor.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

The Fan Motor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators.

• Includes 1 cooling fan motor

• Disconnect power before servicing; pull the unit away from the wall for access
• Remove the rear lower access panel to reach the condenser fan area
• Note wiring and fan-blade orientation; transfer the blade and any mounting hardware from the old motor as needed
• The fan spins freely and airflow direction matches the original before reassembly

This fan motor assembly circulates air across the evaporator coils to keep temperatures even inside the refrigerator. Replacing a worn or noisy motor restores proper airflow for consistent cooling performance.

• Drives the evaporator fan to move chilled air through the cabinet and vents
• Helps maintain stable temperatures and reduces frost from stagnant air
• Common symptoms: weak or no airflow, loud or intermittent fan noise, temperature fluctuations, refrigerator section warmer than expected
• Failures may result from worn bearings, moisture exposure, or an open motor winding

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection
• Access the fan behind the interior rear panel; remove shelves/drawers as needed and avoid bending evaporator fins
• Note wire connector orientation and mounting order; transfer any reusable hardware from the original assembly as needed
• After reassembly, verify the fan spins freely and confirm operation before reloading the compartment

This DC motor powers the appliance's cooling fan to move air across coils and through compartments. Replacing a weak or failed motor restores proper airflow for steadier temperatures and quieter, more efficient operation. What it does:

• Drives the fan that circulates air through the evaporator or across the condenser
• Helps maintain even cooling and prevent temperature swings
• Replaces a motor that won't start, runs intermittently, or makes grinding/squealing noises
• Can help address poor cooling, warm spots, or frost/ice buildup from lack of airflow

• 1 DC motor

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the fan area per service information (rear interior panel or machine compartment)
• Transfer the fan blade and any grommets/brackets/screws from the original motor if needed
• Seat the motor securely, route wires clear of the blade, and verify the fan spins freely before reassembly

This indoor fan motor powers the air conditioner's indoor unit blower to move air across the evaporator coil. Replacing a weak or failed motor restores proper airflow for effective cooling and comfort.

• Drives the indoor blower/crossflow fan to circulate conditioned air
• Maintains correct airflow across the evaporator for cooling and dehumidification
• Common symptoms of failure: no or weak airflow, fan won't start or stalls, intermittent operation
