This Part Fixes These Problems

Freezer Not Cooling

Fan motor failure stops airflow over evaporator coils, causing the freezer to warm up while the compressor continues to run.

Refrigerator Compartment Warm

When the evaporator fan fails in a dual-evaporator model, the fresh food section loses cold air circulation and temperatures rise above safe levels.

Loud Noise / Grinding Sound

A failing BLDC motor or frost build-up contacting the fan blade causes loud buzzing, rattling, or grinding that often stops when the door is opened.

Excessive Ice Build-Up on Rear Panel

Reduced airflow from a weak or failed fan motor allows moisture to freeze on the evaporator cover and rear compartment wall, eventually blocking air circulation entirely.

Error Code / Blinking Display

Samsung refrigerators display SPM fault codes or repeating blink patterns on the control panel when the evaporator fan motor is not receiving correct voltage or has stopped spinning.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failed Evaporator Fan Motor

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Freezer or fresh food section is warm while the other compartment stays cold

⚠️ Loud buzzing, rattling, or grinding noise that stops when you open the door

⚠️ Excessive frost or ice build-up on the rear wall panel inside the compartment

⚠️ Error codes flashing on the digital display (double-blink patterns indicating SPM/fan fault)

🔍 Quick test: Open the refrigerator door and manually hold the door switch closed — if you cannot hear the fan running, the motor has likely failed. Also defrost any ice build-up on the rear panel with a hair dryer before disassembly; a frozen panel can mimic a motor failure and may trap the cover.

Questions & Answers

Is DA31-00146H the fan motor for the freezer section or the fresh food section?

Answered by Support Team · Mar 15, 2024

The DA31-00146H is used in both sections depending on the model. On many Samsung French door refrigerators it is the freezer evaporator fan motor located behind the rear back panel in the freezer. On other models such as those ending in /XAA it may serve the fresh food compartment. Always confirm with your full model number before ordering.

What part numbers does DA31-00146H replace?

Answered by Support Team · Nov 20, 2023

DA31-00146H directly replaces AP4444609, DA31-00146C, PS4138377, and 2030147. These are all cross-reference numbers for the same BLDC evaporator fan motor rated at DC 12V, 2.1W, 0.176A, 2950 RPM.

My refrigerator back panel is frozen solid — can I still replace the fan motor myself?

Answered by Support Team · Jan 8, 2025

Yes. Use a hair dryer on low heat to slowly melt the ice around the panel edges before attempting removal. Do not pry or force the panel — this can crack it. Once the ice is melted the panel will release easily. Allow extra time (15–20 minutes) for the defrost step.

Can the wiring harness connectors from the old motor be reused?

Answered by Support Team · Jul 22, 2024

Yes. Unless the wiring insulation or connector tabs are visibly cracked or burned, the existing wiring harness connectors can be unplugged from the old motor and plugged directly into the new DA31-00146H without any splicing or modification.

My Samsung refrigerator is showing a blinking error code and the compartment is warm — is this the right part?

Answered by Support Team · Feb 10, 2026

A double-blink or SPM fault code on a Samsung refrigerator often indicates the evaporator fan motor is not operating correctly. First unplug the unit and inspect for ice blocking the fan blade. If no ice obstruction is present and the motor does not spin freely by hand or shows no resistance with a multimeter, replacing the DA31-00146H evaporator fan motor is the correct repair.
