The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It circulates air over the refrigerator's evaporator coils, which helps maintain a consistent and even temperature throughout the fridge and freezer compartments. This ensures that your food stays fresh and properly cooled.
Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include normal wear and tear, electrical issues, or debris buildup that restricts the fan’s movement.
Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:
- The refrigerator or freezer compartments not cooling properly
- Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator
- The refrigerator running constantly or intermittently shutting off
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
