Whirlpool WP4389155 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor OEM Part

The fridge is 20+ years old in a home we recently moved into. It sounded like a motor getting stuck on something or grinding weird... was hoping it wasn't something more serious. Found this site, clicked 'noisy' and got the replacement evaporator fan motor blade as well as the motor evaporator. Turned out I didn't really need to replace the fan blade, but since I had it and ours was old, figured I might as well put in the new parts. Followed the videos here, which were really helpful. The biggest hurdle was that our specific model had a bracket that was sandwiched within the evaporator motor that did NOT come with the replacement one from AppliancePartPros. I had to figure out how to take the old motor apart as well as the new one in order to properly sandwich this bracket component in, as otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get it placed in the freezer properly. Not sure if it's just because the model of the fridge I have is so old, but in the video, they say 'there's no bracket here, so just pop out the motor', which I obviously couldn't do. But once I figured that part out (using a variety of hex heads that I have), I connected the red/white/green cables (although the old motor was 90 degrees rotated from the new one) and voila, back in business, no grinding. So aside from the rotated wire connectors (and making sure I connected the proper wires to what I hoped was the proper terminal) and having to dissemble the old motor to get the bracket pieces that hold the motor in place, pretty straightforward. $150 and a few hours so I didn't have to replaced what I came to find out was a $10K built-in fridge? Yes, please.

Ordered new fan and fan motor from Appliance Parts Pros and replaced both with positive results
