Rear evaporator fan motor bracket secures the evaporator fan motor to the refrigerator cabinet, maintaining airflow over the coils for efficient cooling. Replaces a bent or broken mounting bracket so the fan runs steadily. What it does:
- Holds the evaporator fan motor in the correct position to maintain steady rotation and consistent airflow across the evaporator coils.
- Prevents the motor from rubbing against the housing or fan blades, reducing noise and vibration.
- Common replacement when bracket is cracked, corroded, or bent — symptoms include noisy fan operation, intermittent fan movement, or reduced cooling performance.
- Restores proper motor alignment to help prevent premature motor wear.
What's included: One evaporator fan motor bracket (rear). Install notes:
- Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
- Remove the evaporator cover or access panel to reach the bracket; retain original mounting hardware unless replacements are provided.
- Ensure the fan blades spin freely and the motor is undamaged before reassembly; ensure the bracket seats securely and the fan does not contact the housing.
- If the motor or fan blade shows damage, replace those parts separately rather than relying on the bracket alone.

They go to great length to insure all ordered parts are shipped and in a timely fashion.. Also the live tutorials are a great help for the Doit yourselfer..
