Maytag Refrigerator 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.

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

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.

Fix a ticking noise or cooling issues in your refrigerator. This evaporator fan motor circulates cold air throughout the fridge and freezer compartments.
