The Fan Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is essential for circulating air throughout the refrigerator, ensuring that the temperature remains consistent and the cooling process is efficient. The fan blade helps distribute cold air from the evaporator coils to different parts of the refrigerator and freezer compartments, maintaining an even temperature throughout.
Over time, the fan blade can become damaged due to wear and tear, obstruction by debris, or impact from moving items within the refrigerator. If the fan blade is cracked, broken, or loose, it will not be able to circulate air effectively, leading to cooling issues and potential food spoilage.
Symptoms of a bad fan blade include:
- Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator
- Inconsistent cooling or warm spots within the compartments
- The refrigerator running more frequently or for longer periods
- Frost buildup in the freezer
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
