Lee October 08, 2022 for Model Number Whirlpool Refrigerator Model ET25DMXBB00 Some weeks ago I replaced the evaporator fan motor on my refrigerator. It has never cooled properly but the freezer section is a solid 10*F or cooler. My question is what is the correct direction of rotation of the evaporator fan motor for my unit?
1 Answer Lee, Thanks for the question!!! Based on the fan blade design, it appears to be a clockwise rotation. Read More...
Marc October 14, 2021 for Model Number ET18NKXAW02 I need to know which tab is positive and which tab is negative for part 482731 Whirlpool evap motor. My original part has the positive and negative tabs from top to bottom. The replacement part has the tabs front to back. The reason I am asking is because I bought a new part and the tabs are so flimsy that one broke off when I when I needed to swap them. I had to put the old failing motor back in the unit. I recently purchased two new ones from you in case it happens again but it would be nice to know I have the wires connected right the first time. Also, the fan blades indicate that the fan should spin clockwise when the motor is in the refrigerator pushing the air towards the rear wall of the unit. Is this correct? I don't want to keep turning the unit on and off and risk damaging the compressor. Thank you.
1 Answer Marc, the fan rotation would be clockwise for this fan motor. In regards to the wiring, the front terminal would be connected to the red wire and the rear terminal would connect to the white wire. Read More...
Leon February 22, 2021 for Model Number ET22PKXBN00 Replace evaporator motor and fan. I think the fan should be running clockwise, but it is running counter clockwise. Not sure if I did something wrong in the repair. Can you help me?
1 Answer Hello Leon, the manufacturer no longer makes the original fan motor for your model and has replaced it with this kit, for some models the motor rotation needs to be reversed for proper airflow. To do this just unscrew the motor screws, and take the armature out and reverse it and reinstall the screws. Read More...

Jack February 11, 2018 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..
2 Answers Hello Jack, I'm sorry but 482731 is the only evaporator fan motor listed as available for the model provided. The new fan blade must be used with this fan motor. If you ordered this fan motor from us, you should call us at 1-877-477-7278 with your model and serial numbers and the order number so we can re-ship the part if it is not running properly. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
