Luke July 03, 2012 Touched two of the Wires on this fan and arched it. Now it doesn't work. Everything else does. Is there a fuse or reset somewhere or did I blow it?
1 Answer Hello Luke. Test for power at the evaporator fan motor wires. If there is power there, and the fan motor does not run, you will need to replace the evaporator fan motor WPW10128551 in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Tony June 22, 2012 for Model Number mff2258vem3 How do I remove the freezer door with the side tracks? My back wall is all iced up.
1 Answer Hi Tony. On the top or the side of the door bracket is a screw that stops the door from being lifted off the inner lt. and rt. freezer rails. Then at the end of the door bracket at the back is a guide "hook" that pulls up and out as you lift the door up and back off the side rails. The door comes off in this manner and reassembles in the reverse sequence. This allows you to reach and remove the back wall to replace the evaporator fan motor part # WPW10128551. Thank You.

John March 08, 2012 for Model Number KBRA20ERWH Was getting a grinding/growling noise from the unit. Replaced the damper motor and that noise went away. Still getting a slightly loud vibration noise from the unit occasionally. I don't believe is the condenser motor. Virtually silent when I took the back off of the unit. I think the only thing left is either the compressor or the evaporator motor. For $26 I think it worth my try for the evap motor. Thoughts? Suggestions? Or other advice? The damper motor worked our GREAT!!! Thank you.
1 Answer Hello John. The evaporator fan motor WPW10128551 in the unit can vibrate and make noise if the bushings are bad. You should be able to open the freezer door and see if the motor is noisy. Hope this helps. Read More...
Cisco March 01, 2012 for Model Number gx2fhdxvy04 The ref part is not cooling I ran it thru the series of test specified on the instruction sheet and the Evaporator fan did not come on. Do I need replace it? FYI I took the motor off and bench tested it with 115ac and it turns the motor. Any suggestions. By the way all the other test passed according to the results listed on the instuctions. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Cisco. If everything works properly, but the fan motor, you will need to test for power coming to the fan motor. If there is power there, replace the fan motor WPW10128551. If there is no power, replace the control board WPW10503278. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Bkaplan June 22, 2011 for Model Number Sears 596.72219200 Where is this part in the refrigerator? How difficult is it to replace for a handy person? I deduced that this is the part I need based on the fact that the noise I'm trying to fix gets louder when the freezer door is closed or if I manually turn the freezer light off. Should I also purchase the related parts including the gromment and gaskets? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Bkaplan. The evaporator fan motor WPW10128551 is located inside the freezer behind the back wall. You will need to remove the freezer door and basket. Then remove the icemaker and the center air grate in the back wall. Remove the back wall from the freezer. Now you can access the evaporator fan motor. Remove the old motor and reinstall with the new motor in reverse order. You can use the old gromments and gaskets. Hope this helps. Read More...
Arel March 29, 2011 for Model Number MSD2657HEW The fan that pushes the air from the freezer bottom to the top and the fridge is not working. Freezer feels cold in the bottom but the top area is warm. Also the fridge area feels warm in the top and a little cold in the bottom. Is there a sensor that activates the fan or is just that the fan it's bad?
1 Answer Hello Arel. You will need to replace the fan motor. If the refrigerator is running, but the fan is not, then it is bad. Hope this helps. Read More...
