Jb November 13, 2025 for Model Number LFXS29766S/00 I have a LG LFXS29766S/00 frig with two ice makers. one is in the freezer (it works) and one is in the door (Quit Working along with the water dispenser). The error code is EIF (Abnormality of BLDC Fan Motor for Ice Maker) per LG website. Question I have there are two fans in the freezer compartment, the one on the left looking in, it appears it blows air to the freezer compartments ice maker. The center fan (per LG the fan in the middle is referred to as a evaporator fan)what motor is needed for this?) I have been told I need a new ice maker, or told I need a new ice fan. If it is in fact the ice fan which fan…or motor which one. I have reset, rebooted the frig several times, cleaned the coils, removed checked the ice maker in the door. When rebooting, water in the door works, ice maker in the door does not work, (within +/- 2 hours error code reappears then water also quits in the door. The ice maker in the freezer makes ice all the time.but ice maker in the door does not work The frig is 11 years old all worked great until about 7 days ago. Thanks for any help. JB
1 Answer Hello JB, thank you for contacting AppliancePartsPros.com The fan ABA72913424 on the left in the freezer compartment is the ice box fan for the refrigerator compartment ice maker. Read More...
Burt Mx August 07, 2025 for Model Number 795.72483.411 Diagrams say that the evaporator fan motor for this model is EAU61524007. This fan has a 3 wire harness. My motor uses a 4 wire harness and connector. What is the correct fan for my fridge.
1 Answer Burt, Thank you for your question. The part number for the evaporator fan motor for the freezer section will be EAU61524007 and the refrigerator section evaporator fan motor will be part number EAU64824802. Read More...
James July 04, 2024 for Model Number LMXS30776S/05 Have error code E15 which states ice make fan. Is EAU61524007 the correct part number?
Keith May 11, 2022 for Model Number LMXS30776S I asked a question earlier today, and you suggested checking behind the panel to see if the coils were impacted with ice. The unit was unplugged and doors were opened for 36 hours to defrost, you suggest removing the panel to check the coils now that it has been back on for 24 hours? Will this (sensor), if bad, also impact the ice maker not working, and is this the correct part number for the sensor 6500JB2001B ? I wasn't sure if there was a different defrost sensor, or if they are one in the same? Thank you
1 Answer Keith, it would be recommended that the evaporator is inspected since the unit has been operating for 24 hours as this will certainly help identify what kind of frost pattern is occurring on the evaporator. If there is an ice build-up on the evaporator, the defrost heater assembly MEE62805303 could be the potential cause. Ice build-up on the evaporator can block up the ice maker fan located on the left side of the freezer, causing the ice maker to be unable to produce ice. Read More...
Keith Beall May 11, 2022 for Model Number LMXS30776S Used Smart Diagnostic system (tones) with LG Customer Service after items in the freezer started to get soft. Ice Maker also stopped working. Something was constantly running (humming), but diagnostic report concluded it was possibly defrost sensor, or unit needed to be manually defrosted. Unit was unplugged for 24 hours, then plugged back in, but it's still the same. Freezer and Frig are cold, but something is still not getting cold air to ice maker, and something is still running. Though sometimes the whole unit becomes totally silent, like it should. I utilized the reset button on the mother board before, and reset (test) showed compressor and fan on bottom are working, and both inside top/bottom cooling fans were working. Could this be the defrost sensor, please help. Not sure how this is related to the ice maker. This was also tested, and the tray turns, but water is not freezing in tray. Thank you!!
1 Answer Keith, You will want to remove the rear panel inside the freezer and check to see if the coils are impacted with ice. If they are then this would be a defrost system failure in which the defrost sensor could be the issue. Read More...
Riduan January 10, 2022 for Model Number LFX31925ST/00 My freezer is working but there is a horrible "whirlling" noice coming from the lower freezer section. Again, the frezzer is working properly but loudly. I have my ideas about what has to be done and I watched you video. I'm perplexed. Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Riduan, Based on the description provided I would check the evaporator fan motor for ice build-up or for a bad motor and replace it as needed. Read More...
Gregory Prestage June 17, 2021 for Model Number LFX31945ST/00 Refrigerator stopped making ice . Eventually gave code ER IF. Since then I have gotten a FF code by by opening refrigerator door and pressing Refrigerator and Power Save simultaneously. Do I need an evaporator fan or ice maker fan.... or both ?
1 Answer Gregory, This issue would most likely be caused by the ice fan but would suggest making sure that there is no more ice blocking the fan. Read More...
Ricky May 07, 2021 for Model Number kenmore lg elite 79572482410 bottom freezer System check, error code, 22 88. I cannot find this code listed, can you help me with its definition? The freezer temp is around 15*, it will not drop lower. The upper fridge will not cool below 40*-42*. The evaporator fan motor and the condenser motor run. any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Ricky, the code indicates the main control board is seeing a problem with the compressor working correctly, which is also causing the higher than normal temperatures. This is considered a sealed system problem, usually, with this LG model the compressor will need to be replaced along with a software update to the main control board. This will require a service technician to confirm and complete the repair. Read More...
Steve February 20, 2021 for Model Number 79574043412 How can I determine whether the fan motor or the electronic control board needs to be replaced? Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Hello Steve, this fan motor runs on 12vdc supplied by the control board, the fan motor cannot be tested separately with a multimeter, you would need to power it externally with a 12vdc power supply. In cases like this, the motor (load) is replaced first in case it is faulty and possibly has damaged the control board circuit, if the new motor still does not run the control board is replaced next. You can also check for 12vdc from the control at the motor with the motor installed in the ref. Read More...
