Fridge section is not cooling properly while freezer stays cold — a classic sign the evaporator fan motor has failed and cold air is not circulating into the fresh food compartment.
Both compartments losing temperature indicates the motor is completely seized or not running, preventing any airflow over the evaporator coils.
Whining, grinding, or rattling noise from inside the freezer wall indicates worn motor bearings. Noise may temporarily stop when the freezer door is closed firmly.
Thick frost or ice accumulation on evaporator coils or freezer walls results from inadequate air circulation caused by a failing or non-functioning fan motor.
Motor is completely dead — no airflow, no spinning, no sound from the freezer fan area. Often confirmed by testing motor winding continuity with a multimeter.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failing Evaporator Fan Motor
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Refrigerator section is too warm while freezer remains cold
⚠️ Excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils in the freezer
⚠️ Loud whining, rattling, or grinding noise coming from the back of the freezer
⚠️ Fan blade does not spin or motor completely fails to run
🔍 Diagnostic tip: Open the freezer door and listen — if the fan noise stops or changes when you press the door switch manually, the motor bearing is likely worn out and needs replacement. You can also test the motor winding continuity with a multimeter; a reading outside the expected range confirms motor failure.
