Samsung DA31-00003N Evaporator Fan Motor OEM Part

Noticed fridge was not cold. Thermostat read 38* after lowering it to try to get it colder. Freezer was working properly. Saw online that this would most likely be a evaporator fan issue. Checked and sure enough, back panel of fridge was cold but no air moving. Ordered the new fan and a replacement sensor (for $8 and a little insurance why not?). Got it next business day! Unplugged and cleaned out fridge and removed the shelves. While the power was off we opened up the back compressor area and vacuumed it out. It was very satisfying to suck up those dust bunnies. Removed the interior back panel by unscrewing two screws. The panel came off in one piece with the electrical components, just had to unplug the fan and sensor. The evaporator panel was ice cold, a very food sign. We unscrewed six screws to access the fan motor. Switched it out for the new one along with the sensor. This was a level 2 on the easy scale of 1-10. The old motor wasn't allowing the fan to spin freely. Put it back together, plugged it in, and (hurrah) it was blowing air! Took this time to clean out all the components before returning them to the fridge. Now it cools better than it has in weeks and is whisper quiet. Not bad for an hour's work (mostly cleaning) and $61.23 (that's with shipping!) to save a 2005 fridge that we are very happy with.

Tested the refrigerator evaporator fan and it would not run. Ordered evaporator motor and fan blade just in case. I went ahead and replaced sensor just as a preventive measure. Did not take long. forgot to order fan clip, but was able to salvage old one. Works Great.

Replaced evaporator fan motor, fan blade and Temp sensor. Working perfectly now!!! Wanted to replace thermal fuse too but much more difficult to access. Have some 3/4 in gray foam weather striping tape available in case you need to replace some of it.

We noticed the fridge was hot and as we removed the inside back cover we noticed the fridge got cooler we could see the blower was not running so we removed it and after finding this site we were able to see the diagram and know we were ordering the proper part. we had NO experience with appliance repairs, the diagrams here helped us alot. the local repair place wanted 100 dollars to come look at the fridge, lol the part here was less than 50. the part arrived within 48 hours of ordering it and the fridge works like new. took us less than 30 minutes to repair ourselves with no prior experience we saved alot of money.

Follow the instruction where to find the evaporator motor inside the freezer
