The Evaporator Fan Motor Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a crucial component of the refrigerator's cooling system, attached to the evaporator fan motor to circulate air over the evaporator coils. This circulation helps distribute cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures and efficient operation.
Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Blade include:
- Unusual noise coming from the fan area, indicating the blade may be hitting another component or is unbalanced,
- Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments,
- The refrigerator running longer than usual to maintain the desired temperature.
Causes of evaporator fan motor blade failure typically include physical damage from interference with other components, wear from continuous use, or buildup of ice or debris that unbalances the blade.
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
