Bob September 06, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore 106.71192101 Hi and thanks for your help. The freezer works fine, but the fridge doesn't get cold. I have the cover off of the back of the freezer and the fan that draws cold air down to the fridge doesn't spin. I taped the door sense so it thinks it closed waited a while and still nothing. Seems either the motor is shot or there's a sensor that tells the fan to come on and that has failed? Is there a way to figure out which it is? Thanks again for the help. -Bob
1 Answer Bob, It's most likely a bad evaporator fan motor WPW10189703 It is a 120 VAC 60 hz. 15 amp shaded pole motor. There are no sensors or thermostats that control the fan. Basically, whenever the compressor is running, you should also have power to the fan. Use ammeter and check for 120 VAC across the wires/terminals on the fan, if you have the voltage you have a bad evaporator fan motor. Read More...

Twosparrows May 11, 2012 for Model Number rt21 lmxkq03 How do you replace a broken fan in the freezer compartment? I have the cover off, exposing fan with broken blades. Is it held in place by a screw in the center of the fan?
1 Answer Hello, The old fan blade will just pull off of the fan motor shaft. The new fan blade just presses onto the fan motor shaft. Be careful as it is very easy to get cut when doing this. Wear gloves if you have them. Read More...
