Customer Questions and Answers for Circulating Motor (Air Circulation Motor) by Lg

A direct-replacement circulating motor that moves air inside the refrigerator cabinet to help maintain even temperatures and consistent cooling. Replacing a worn motor restores airflow and can reduce warm spots and uneven cooling. What it does:

• Drives internal airflow to distribute cold air between compartments for more uniform temperatures.
• Restores circulation when a failed motor causes weak or no airflow.
• Common, safe-to-report symptoms: uneven cooling, warm spots in the fridge, the appliance running more than usual, or unusual humming/noise from the cabinet.
• Works with the appliance's wiring harness and mounting system to deliver continuous air movement while the cooling system runs.

• Always unplug the appliance before beginning service to avoid electric shock.
• Handle the motor and fan blades carefully to avoid bending or damage; keep fingers and tools clear of blades.
• Confirm correct connector orientation and secure mounting to prevent vibration or rubbing.
• After installing, power up briefly to verify the motor runs and the fan spins freely before reassembling panels.
