Freezer is cold but the fresh food compartment is warm — the evaporator fan has stopped circulating cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator section.
Neither compartment reaches set temperature because the fan motor has failed to draw air over the evaporator coils entirely.
Squealing, grinding, or humming sound coming from behind the freezer back panel, caused by worn motor bearings or a seized fan shaft.
Fan blade is stiff or completely locked up — motor windings have failed or bearings have seized, preventing any airflow.
Heavy ice accumulation behind the freezer back panel caused by poor airflow from a failing evaporator fan motor, which allows moisture to freeze on the coils.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failing Evaporator Fan Motor
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Refrigerator section warm while freezer stays cold (or vice versa)
⚠️ Loud squealing, humming, grinding, or rattling noise from the freezer area
⚠️ Fan blade does not spin freely when turned by hand after unplugging
⚠️ Excessive frost or ice buildup behind the freezer back panel
🔍 Technician's tip: Unplug the unit, access the back panel of the freezer compartment, and try spinning the fan blade by hand. If it's stiff or won't turn freely, the motor bearings have seized and replacement is required. If the blade turns freely but the motor still won't run when power is restored, use a multimeter to test windings for continuity — no continuity confirms a dead motor.
