Frigidaire Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your Frigidaire refrigerator's evaporator fan motor does one critical job: it circulates cold air from the freezer coils throughout both compartments. When it fails, you'll notice the fridge section warming up while the freezer might still feel cold, or you'll hear grinding, squealing, or clicking noises coming from behind the back panel. This hub covers the 242077702 evaporator fan motor replacement that fits over 20 Frigidaire, Kenmore, and Electrolux refrigerator models.
Is This the Right Part for Your Model?
Before ordering, you'll need to verify your exact model number. On most Frigidaire refrigerators, the model tag is located inside the fresh food section — either on the left or right wall near the top, or on the ceiling. It's a white or silver sticker with your model and serial number. Cross-reference your model number with the compatibility list below. This motor replaces part numbers 242077705, AP6892595, 5304514392, and FDQC18EL4F.
About This Replacement Part
The evaporator fan motor sits behind the freezer's back panel and runs almost constantly to push cold air through the air ducts into your fresh food compartment. When homeowners report their fridge too warm but freezer still cold, or both compartments running warm, the evaporator fan motor is often the culprit. You might also hear it struggling — noisy operation, intermittent grinding, or complete silence when it should be running. If your freezer section is too warm along with the fridge, the fan motor has likely seized completely and isn't circulating any cold air. This is a direct OEM-equivalent replacement that includes the motor housing and mounting bracket.
