White Westinghouse Motor

This evaporator fan motor circulates cold air across the freezer and refrigerator evaporator coils to help maintain even temperatures and proper cooling. Replaces a failed or noisy fan motor to restore airflow and reduce uneven cooling. What it does:

• Spins the evaporator fan blade that moves cold air through the freezer and fresh-food compartments
• Commonly used when the refrigerator is warm, frost builds on the evaporator, or you hear a loud or grinding noise from the fresh-food/freezer area
• Helps prevent temperature stratification and supports proper defrost cycling by maintaining airflow
• Designed for direct replacement where the OEM motor is specified

• One evaporator fan motor

• Unplug the appliance and shut off power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access typically requires removing interior panels or the rear evaporator cover
• Handle the fan blade carefully to avoid damage; ensure proper alignment and secure electrical connections before testing
• If excessive frost or ice is present, defrost the evaporator before installing the new motor
