Whirlpool WP12013211Q Evaporator Fan Motor Assembly (Refrigerator) OEM Part

I removed both basket guides, removed the ice cube maker then removed the back wall panel, all only taking around 10 min. This gave me access to the fan, removed 2 more screws, disconnected 3 wires, all with connectors, then went in reverse to install new fan. 1/4" nut driver and a pair of needle nose pliers is all you need. The pliers are to remove the plastic wire keepers on the fan.

Replaced fan works great now , easy fix. The part sent worked just had to add the wires you sent with the part. Easy.

The Evaporator Fan Motor was easy to replace; it was held on by only two sheet metal screws and the wiring was straightforward. Easy job. Best of all I received the replacement part within 24 hours of ordering for a very reasonable shipping cost.

I isolated the problem to a rattling in the back of the freezer. I tried tightening the screws and put a lightweight insulation strip between the various plastic interior parts. That worked for a bit, but started making noise again in a few weeks. Ultimately, I identified that the evaporator fan was the source of the rattling; the fan was worn out, and caused a lot of vibration when it was running. The part was very straightforward to replace. Consider taking a picture before you start, so you can connect the wires in the right place. My only hitch, and this wasn't the fault of ApplicancePartsPros (their customer service was great, BTW), was a bent fan bracket. Both the original part, and the second one they sent out, had a problem. It turned out to be easy to fix; simply disassemble the part, and straighten the bracket with a pair of pliers. No big deal, and the new part is very quiet. My wife couldn't believe the change. Good luck!
