Motor hums but won't start? Replace your dryer drive motor to fix startup failure. Moderate DIY repair with video guide. Restores drum rotation.
After watching the how to video twice I decided to embark on dismantling my dryer and attempting to replace my motor. After realizing that the main tool needed was a Phillips screwdriver I was sure I could handle this repair. One by one I took apart the dryer and spread out the parts throughout my mud room. 1.5 hrs later and I have a working dryer, and most of all a happy wife. Thanks for the speedy part delivery and the great how to video. Read more

Fridge not cooling but freezer works? Squeaking or chirping noise? A failed evaporator fan motor stops cold air circulation. DIY repair with video guide.
My KitchenAid refrigerator was not cooling, but the freezer was working perfectly. The help section here listed three parts that could be defective–defrost thermostat, evaporator fan motor and blade, and air diffuser/damper control–so I replaced them all. The videos were EXCELLENT, and despite the difficulty I had squeezing my shoulders into the small freezer compartment, I installed the parts and my refrigerator is cooling perfectly! THANK YOU FOR THE EXCELLENT REPAIR VIDEOS! I am so happy... Read more

This is an evaporator fan motor that circulates cold air throughout the freezer compartment to maintain even temperatures. It is mounted near the evaporator coils and runs whenever the compressor is operating. Replace this motor if the freezer is warmer than normal, you hear unusual buzzing or grinding noises, or the fan has stopped spinning entirely.
In short - I replaced the evaporator fan motor and the evaporator fan blade. The Appliance Parts Pros website was extremely helpful to me. Here's how. 1. The site helped me identify that even though my Freezer says it's a Frigidaire, it's actually an Electrolux. 2. The site identified the potential screech causing parts. (I didn't take a chance, I bought all three) It was a worthwhile investment. My freezer is 20 years old so it deserved some help. 3. The site provided guidance videos (not... Read more

Fix a freezer that won't freeze or a warm fridge with this evaporator fan motor. Moderate DIY repair taking 60-90 minutes. Fits bottom-mount models.
The repair went well. Never made this type of repair before. Took me around 90 minutes to complete. The worst part was winging it on how to disassemble the bottom drawers. On my Kenmore Elite, it has three freezer compartment sliding trays. The other difficult part for me was removing the clipped in part on the back of the freezer panel. Without knowing what to do it was a little frustrating. after getting to the evaporator unit, removing built-up ice and replacing the unit was fairly easy. The... Read more

Refrigerator not cooling but freezer works? A failed evaporator fan motor prevents air circulation. This kit includes motor and mounting components.
First, I did online research to find out what could be the problem with these symptoms of cold freezer and warm fridge. I found multiple posts with people going back and forth as far as what to do to fix it. One tread even provided the link to your store with the part number for the evaporator fan motor. So I did the inspection of the motor as suggested by the expert and sure enough it was the evaporator's motor fan that was not working as it should. That is when I immediately follow the link...

I used the internet and checked a dry fuse, and it tested ok. Checked the start switch, ok. So it had to be the motor. Sharon at the company agreed. Motor, and belt arrive very fast. ordered the belt because, if I had it apart why not change it. Internet also helped get the dryer apart. Found on u-tube a repairman cut a hole in the side to gain easy access. This dryer is not easy to work on, but this helped, and will make further repairs much easier. Using the internet, and...

Ice dispenser not working or just humming? The auger motor drives ice from the bucket to the chute. Moderate DIY repair with step-by-step video guide.
My problem started with a rusting condition in the ice bin that spiraled out of hand. I took apart the ice bin and all the hardware thinking I could clean it with the suggested baking powder. Plastic parts cleaned up like new, metal parts were pitted. I wire brushed and sanded the parts put it all back together and gave it a try. All appeared fine then two days later the ice dispenser stopped. I watched a couple of videos and most pointed to the ice auger motor. One video specifically said you... Read more
The Motor Rotor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. Situated within the transmission housing, this specialized metal component physically connects the drive motor to the outer brake housing that controls the drive shaft and wash basket movements during all cycles.
Causes of failure involve the wearing of motor bearings or cracking of cast magnesium surfaces from repeated rotations over extended usage periods.
Symptoms requiring replacement include:
This Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, and select other brands utilizing common Whirlpool motor designs.
Unplugged power cord, shut off hot and cold water valves, and disconnected hot and cold water lines. I taped the lid closed and laid washer down on its front panel to access motor parts underneath. Removed center screw (allen wrench) and then removed large, round, plastic rotor (had to use some force with fingers behind it to get it off). I could see that the gear teeth inside the rotor had been partially stripped off ruining the rotor (and causing the noise). I then removed the clutch... Read more

If your fridge isn't cooling or freezer is making loud noises, the evaporator fan motor may have failed. Moderately easy DIY repair with video guide.
After checking the suggested fixes and parts on Appliance Parts Pros, I ordered the defrost thermostat and evap motor for my refrigerator, a Kitchen Aid KSSC42QTS00. Installation was very easy, simply emptying the freezer and removing the access panel in the back bottom half. Upon getting everything open, I found out that the existing evap motor was working fine, so I didn't install that part. I did install the defrost thermometer, which was a 5-minute process. I also cleared out the vent... Read more

Once I purchased the correct motor it literally took less that 10 minutes from start to finish to replace the motor. After unplugging the refrigerator, I unscrewed two machine screws to remove the cover and unscrewed two machine screws to remove the motor.
