Customer Questions and Answers for Evaporator Fan Motor Grommet by Frigidaire

This evaporator fan motor grommet cushions the freezer fan motor where it mounts to the bracket, isolating vibration and reducing rattling. Replacing a worn grommet helps keep the motor stable and the fan blade centered for smooth, quiet airflow.

• Isolates motor vibration from the mounting bracket to help reduce noise
• Maintains proper motor alignment to prevent the fan blade from rubbing the shroud
• Helps minimize vibration that can loosen hardware over time
• Common symptoms include rattling/buzzing from the freezer area or a scraping fan sound

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove freezer drawers/shelves and the rear panel to access the evaporator fan assembly
• Seat the new grommet fully in the bracket and secure the motor; do not overtighten
• The fan blade spins freely with no contact before reassembly and testing
