The Evaporator Fan Motor Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This kit includes the evaporator fan motor and necessary mounting components to ensure proper installation and function. The evaporator fan motor is responsible for circulating air over the evaporator coils and throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring uniform cooling and efficient operation.
You should replace the evaporator fan motor kit if the motor becomes faulty. Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include electrical issues, wear and tear from regular use, or mechanical failure. A malfunctioning motor can lead to uneven cooling, increased energy consumption, or the refrigerator not maintaining the proper temperature.
Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:
- The refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
- Unusual noises such as squealing, humming, or grinding coming from the motor area
- The fan not spinning or spinning inconsistently
- Increased frost buildup in the freezer
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
