LG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your LG refrigerator is running warm in the freezer section while the fridge compartment seems fine, the evaporator fan motor is likely the culprit. This hub covers the EAU64824805 evaporator fan motor replacement compatible with over 20 LG refrigerator models, including popular French door and side-by-side configurations. This motor is what circulates cold air from the evaporator coils throughout both compartments — when it fails, you'll notice uneven cooling fast.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Your LG model number is typically located inside the fresh food compartment, on the left or right wall. It's a combination of letters and numbers like LRMVS3006S or LMXS28626D. Cross-reference your exact model with our compatibility list below before ordering — LG uses different fan motors across their lineup, and installing the wrong one means you're making the trip back to square one.

About This Replacement Part

The EAU64824805 is a direct replacement for multiple LG part numbers including Z40E12MS1A0-57K06A, EAU64824806, and EAU63503706. This evaporator fan motor fits French door models like the LRFVC2406S and LRFVS3006D series, side-by-side configurations like the LRSXS2706S, and various bottom-freezer models. When this motor stops working, you'll hear silence where there should be a gentle hum — or in some cases, a loud grinding noise right before it quits completely. The freezer section typically warms first since the evaporator is located there, while the fresh food section follows within 24-48 hours.

Signs Your Evaporator Fan Motor Has Failed

The most obvious symptom is temperature imbalance. Your freezer warms up while the compressor keeps running — you can hear it cycling normally, but the cold air isn't moving. Some motors make a grinding or squealing noise for a few days before they seize completely. Others just stop without warning. If you open the freezer and don't hear the usual fan noise when the door closes, that's your confirmation.

What This Part Does

The evaporator fan motor sits behind the back panel in your freezer compartment. It pulls air across the evaporator coils (where refrigerant absorbs heat) and pushes that cold air through ducts into both the freezer and fresh food sections. When the motor dies, the evaporator coils still get cold, but there's no airflow to distribute that cold throughout the refrigerator. The compressor keeps running because the thermostat senses warm temperatures, but nothing improves.

Installation Overview

Replacing this motor means accessing the evaporator compartment. You'll need to remove everything from the freezer, take out the shelves, and unscrew the back panel. The fan motor is mounted to a bracket with typically 2-3 screws. Disconnect the wire harness, swap the old motor for the new one, and reassemble in reverse order. It's not complicated, but it takes patience — and you'll want to let the refrigerator sit unplugged for 15 minutes before you start to avoid any surprise ice buildup making panel removal difficult.

Why Choose This Replacement

The EAU64824805 is built to LG's original specifications. It's the same motor LG techs would install during a warranty repair. The mounting holes line up perfectly, the wire connector is plug-and-play, and the RPM matches what your refrigerator's control board expects. No adapters, no modifications — just a straight swap that gets your refrigerator back to normal operation.
