The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM replacement part for Electrolux refrigerators. It is responsible for circulating air throughout the refrigerator’s interior to maintain consistent cooling and optimal temperature distribution. This motor works to move air over the evaporator coils, aiding in the cooling process and ensuring that the refrigerator and freezer compartments remain at the desired temperature.
Over time, the evaporator fan motor can wear out or fail due to mechanical stress, dust or debris accumulation, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning motor can lead to uneven cooling or inadequate refrigeration, impacting the overall performance of the appliance.
Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:
- Unusual noises such as rattling or humming
- Inconsistent or inadequate cooling
- Ice buildup in the freezer or refrigerator compartments
- The refrigerator running constantly without reaching the desired temperature
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
NOTE: THE CHANGE FROM 4-WIRE TO 3-WIRE DOES NOT IMPACT PART
