Parts for Maytag AZF33X20DW00: 05 - Unit Parts

The Evaporator Coil is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for absorbing heat from the refrigerator interior as refrigerant passes through its fine tubes and fins. Cool air is then circulated through convection to maintain consistent temperatures.

Causes of a bad evaporator coil can include mineral deposits or frozen moisture clogging fins over time, physical damage to tubes, or corrosion of metal surfaces.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator coil include:  

• Inability to decrease interior temperatures sufficiently  
• High energy bills due to inefficient heat transfer
• Abnormal ice buildup inside due to poor airflow
• Warm or lukewarm areas inside the refrigerator compartment

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and some GE models.

This evaporator fan motor drives the fan that circulates chilled air across the evaporator coils and through the cabinet, helping maintain even, stable temperatures and consistent cooling performance.

• Moves air across the evaporator coils and through the vents for uniform cooling
• Helps the refrigerator recover temperature after door openings
• Common symptoms of a failing motor: fresh food section warmer than the freezer, little or no airflow from vents, fan not running with the door switch pressed, or loud/abnormal fan noise
• Supports overall system efficiency by keeping air moving around stored items

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Transfer and reuse the original fan blade, bracket, grommets, and screws if your model uses them
• Clear any frost or obstructions from the fan shroud and surrounding area before reassembly
• After reassembly, restore power and press the door switch to confirm the fan runs and airflow is present

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.

The Heater is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is responsible for preventing frost build-up on the evaporator coils by periodically heating them to melt any accumulated ice. This defrost process is essential for maintaining efficient cooling and proper airflow within the refrigerator.

Over time, the heater can fail due to electrical issues, wear and tear, or burnout from frequent cycling. When the heater is defective, it can lead to excessive frost build-up, which impairs the refrigerator's cooling performance.

Symptoms of a bad heater include:

• Frost or ice build-up on the evaporator coils
• Refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator
• Long defrost cycles or constant running of the refrigerator

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
