Fridge or freezer section is too warm — the fan motor has failed and is no longer circulating cold air from the evaporator coils through the compartments.
Grinding, rattling, or squealing noise coming from the freezer area caused by worn motor bearings or ice buildup around the fan blade impeding rotation.
The evaporator fan blade does not turn or turns slower than normal, resulting in complete loss of air circulation and rapid temperature rise inside the fridge.
One compartment stays cold while the other warms up — a common symptom when the fan motor partially fails and air circulation becomes insufficient.
Excessive ice or frost accumulates on the back panel coils because stagnant air from a failed fan motor allows moisture to freeze unchecked on the evaporator.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Evaporator Fan Motor the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Refrigerator or freezer compartment not cooling properly or uneven temperature
⚠️ Loud grinding, rattling, or squealing noise coming from the freezer area
⚠️ Fan blade not spinning, or spinning slower than normal
⚠️ Frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils behind the freezer back panel
🔍 Quick diagnosis: Try spinning the fan blade by hand with the fridge unplugged — if it doesn't turn freely, the motor bearings have seized and replacement is needed. Also test motor winding continuity with a multimeter; no continuity = failed motor.
