Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Evaporator Motor (Part Number: OEM18021750)

Hi Bobby. By the looks of the fan blade pitch, I believe it turns clockwise. It pushes cold air out of the air diffuser assy. Thank You.

Rudy, unplug the power cord or remove power to the refrigerator. Remove everything from the freezer compartment including the shelf. You may want to remove the freezer door as well. Remove the 1/4 inch hex head screws across the top of the evaporator cover(freezer back wall). Carefully pull the top of the panel towards you, until you can reach behind the panel and disconnect the multi plug connector on the wiring harness, and remove the horizontal connector for the ice maker. Slide the panel out, and be careful with the foam seals around the edges, if you damage them, you'll need to replace them. Remove the two screws holding the housing to the refrigerator wall and remove the assembly, slide the fan off the motor shaft, Remove the two screws holding the rear bracket and slide the bracket and motor out of the housing. Good Luck and Thanks

Hi Wayne. The evaporator fan motor is part # WPW10189703. Make sure your door seals properly, so moisture does not collect on the motor assembly. Thank you.

Hello Doyle. You will need to replace the evaporator fan motor. When you do, check and make sure the door is sealing good, not allowing moister to get to the fan motor. Usually, this is the problem with the fan motors. Hope this helps.
