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 evaporator coils throughout both the freezer and fresh food compartments. When this motor fails, you'll notice the freezer staying cold while the refrigerator section warms up, or you might hear grinding noises from behind the back panel. This hub covers the 242219204 replacement motor that fits multiple Frigidaire, Crosley, Kenmore, and Electrolux refrigerator models.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

The 242219204 motor fits over 20 different refrigerator models across several brands. Your model number is typically located on the inside wall of the refrigerator section, either on the left or right side near the top. It's a series of letters and numbers — like FFHT1621QS6 or FRS26R4A. Cross-reference your model number with the compatibility list below before ordering.

About This Replacement Part

The evaporator fan motor sits behind the freezer's back panel, mounted directly to the evaporator coil housing. This motor runs constantly when the compressor is running, pushing cold air through the air ducts into your refrigerator compartment. When it fails, the most common symptom is a warm refrigerator with a properly cold freezer — because the evaporator is still making cold air, but that air isn't circulating. Some failures are quieter (the motor just stops), while others announce themselves with grinding or squealing sounds as the bearings wear out. The 242219204 replaces several older part numbers including AP6041603, PS11775575, and 4546153, making it a direct fit for both newer and older Frigidaire platforms.

Compatible Frigidaire Refrigerator Models

This evaporator fan motor works with the following Frigidaire, Crosley, and Kenmore refrigerator models:

• FFHT1621QS6 — Frigidaire top-freezer refrigerator
• FFTR1814QS8B — Frigidaire top-freezer model
• FFHT1821TS1 — Frigidaire 18 cu. ft. top-freezer
• FFSS2615TS0 — Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator
• FRS6LR5EM8 — Frigidaire side-by-side
• FRS26R4A — Frigidaire 26 cu. ft. side-by-side
• FRS26H5ASB5 — Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator
• CRTE182TS1 — Crosley top-freezer model
• CRT151RW2 — Crosley compact refrigerator
• CRT182HQB4 — Crosley 18 cu. ft. top-freezer
• CRT182HQW4 — Crosley top-freezer refrigerator
• CRT182QB7B — Crosley refrigerator model
• CGTR1825SF3A — Crosley top-freezer
• CGTR1825SF4A — Crosley 18 cu. ft. model

If your model number starts with FFHT, FFTR, FFSS, FRS, CRT, or CGTR and was manufactured between 2010 and 2020, there's a strong chance this motor fits. Always verify your exact model number against the manufacturer's parts diagram.

What This Part Replaces

Part number 242219204 supersedes and replaces these older Frigidaire part numbers: AP6041603, PS11775575, 4546153, and EAP11775575. If you're cross-referencing parts from an older repair manual or parts diagram, any of those numbers confirm you need this motor.

Installation Overview

Replacing the evaporator fan motor requires removing the freezer's back panel to access the evaporator compartment. You'll need to unplug the refrigerator, remove all freezer shelves, and take out 4-6 screws holding the back panel. The motor itself is held with two screws and has a wire harness connector. The new motor typically comes with the fan blade already attached, so you won't need to transfer the old blade. Budget about 45 minutes for the complete job if you're working carefully.

Why This Motor Fails

Evaporator fan motors fail for three main reasons. First, frost buildup from a defrost system issue can cause the fan blade to hit ice, stalling the motor and burning out the windings. Second, the bearings wear out over time — especially in humid environments where moisture gets past the seals. Third, power surges or voltage fluctuations can damage the motor's internal components. If your defrost system isn't working properly, fix that issue before installing the new motor or you'll be back here in six months with another failed fan.
