The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This motor is responsible for circulating cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring uniform temperature and efficient cooling. It helps maintain the desired temperature by moving air across the evaporator coils and distributing it evenly.
Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include electrical failures, worn-out bearings, or damage due to ice buildup. Regular wear and tear from continuous operation can also lead to motor failure over time.
Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor include:
- The refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
- Unusual noises coming from the fan area
- Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
- The fan not running when the refrigerator is on
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
