For Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Kit (Part Number: OEM9332796)

Jack for Model Number ET20DKXXN00

Hi! My Evap. motor is noisy. However, it is working and blows the velocity of air needed to freeze and refrigerate. The motor's number is 4318001. I ordered and installed a new OEM Whirlpool part # 482731, but it cooled only in the freezer not the refrigerator. After running for an extended period of time I decided to put the old motor back in. At this point, the units temps were in range within 6 hrs, but I am stuck with a noisy motor. Do the replacement motors run at a lower RPM or is there something I'm missing here? Could I get the exact motor numbered 4318001? Would appreciate your advice..

Jack, This fan motor 482731 is showing as the correct part and you will want to make sure that you use all the parts including the blade for the unit. Unfortunately we do not have information on the RPMs of the fan.

Dan, With the unit not getting power to the fan motor then this will be an issue with the defrost timer which will be part number W10822278.

Hello Dixey, This can be due to a bad fan motor but if it is running, the problem is most likely a defrost issue and an ice build-up. The common failures are the defrost bi-metal WPW10225581, the defrost heater WP2210895, and the defrost timer W10822278.

Dixey, The first thing to check for is to see if the evaporator fan motor is running. If the fan motor is not running then test to make sure that it is getting 120 vac. If there is power to the fan motor then it will need to be replaced. If the fan is operating then It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello A.C., The "R" has nothing to do with door swing as far as we can tell. I'm sorry but this unit is so old we cannot even pull parts up on it anymore.
