Frigidaire Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Parts — Models & Compatibility

When your Frigidaire refrigerator starts running warm despite the compressor cycling normally, the evaporator fan motor has likely failed. This critical component circulates cold air throughout both compartments — without it, you'll notice the freezer working but the fridge section slowly warming up. The 809069201 motor replaces several part numbers including AP6041795, PS11775846, and 4456990 across Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Kenmore models.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Your model number is stamped on a label inside the refrigerator compartment, typically on the left or right wall near the top. It'll start with letters like DGHD, DGHF, FFHB, or similar prefixes. Cross-reference your complete model number with our compatibility list below — this motor fits over 20 different Frigidaire series refrigerators manufactured in the last decade. If your model ends in different suffix numbers (like TF0, TF1, TD2), that's normal — the motor itself hasn't changed across those production runs.

About This Replacement Part

The evaporator fan motor typically fails due to bearing wear after years of continuous operation. You'll hear it struggling — a grinding noise, intermittent squealing, or complete silence when the compressor's running. Poor air circulation follows immediately: the freezer might stay cold while the refrigerator compartment climbs into the 50°F range. Ice buildup on the evaporator coils is another telltale sign since the fan normally prevents frost accumulation. This OEM-equivalent motor restores proper airflow and temperature control. Always unplug the appliance before installation and confirm the part fits your specific model number — fan motors look similar but mounting brackets and electrical connectors vary between series.

Compatible Frigidaire Models

This evaporator fan motor works with these verified model numbers. Each uses the same mounting configuration and electrical connection, though cabinet designs vary:

• DGHD2361TF Series (TF0, TF1, TF2, TF3)
• DGHF2360PF Series (PFAA, PFBA)
• DGHX2655TF Series (TFA, TFB)
• FFHB2750T Series (TD0, TD1, TD2, TE0, TP0)

If your model isn't listed here but shares the same prefix, check the full compatibility chart on the product page — we've verified fitment for additional variants not shown in this summary.

Installation Overview

Replacing the evaporator fan motor requires accessing the freezer's rear panel. You'll need to remove shelving, unscrew the evaporator cover, disconnect the wire harness, and swap the motor assembly. The entire job takes about 45 minutes if you work methodically. Most technicians recommend defrosting the freezer first if there's significant ice buildup — it makes panel removal much easier and prevents water dripping during the repair.

Why This Part Fails

Evaporator fan motors run constantly whenever the compressor cycles, which means they're spinning thousands of hours per year. The bearings eventually wear out, causing the shaft to wobble and creating that characteristic grinding noise. Dust accumulation around the motor can accelerate failure by restricting airflow and causing overheating. Some units fail electrically — the windings short out and the motor won't start at all. Either way, the symptom's the same: fridge too warm, even though everything else seems fine.
