Frigidaire Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Parts — Models & Compatibility

When your Frigidaire refrigerator stays warm but the freezer's still cold, you're likely dealing with a failed evaporator fan motor. This hub covers the 241854301 replacement motor that fits dozens of Frigidaire top-freezer and side-by-side models from the FFHT, FFTR, and related series. This is the part that pushes cold air from your freezer down into the fresh food section—when it burns out, you'll notice spoiled groceries fast.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your model number on the inside left wall of your refrigerator compartment or inside the fresh food section. The 241854301 replaces older part numbers AP4343697, PS2331827, 1465278, and 5303918549. If you've got an FFHT1826, FFTR1817, FFHT1714, or similar model from the last decade, this'll fit. Cross-reference your full model number with the compatibility list below—Frigidaire used this motor design across their entire top-freezer lineup.

About This Replacement Motor

The evaporator fan motor sits behind your back freezer panel and runs continuously to circulate air. When it fails, the compressor keeps running but air stops moving—your freezer stays cold because it's closest to the evaporator coils, but your refrigerator section warms up within hours. You'll hear complete silence instead of the usual fan hum. This is one of the most common failures in Frigidaire refrigerators after 5-8 years of use. The 241854301 is a direct-fit replacement motor with mounting bracket included. Installation takes 15-30 minutes—you'll need basic nut drivers and screwdrivers to remove the freezer shelves, unscrew the back panel, disconnect the wire harness, and swap the motor. One customer who installed this said it's "working like a brand new refrigerator" after the swap.
