The evaporator fan motor circulates cold air from the evaporator coils into the fresh food compartment. A failed motor stops airflow, causing the fridge section to become warm while the freezer may still cool.
This error code indicates an evaporator fan circuit failure. Replacing the evaporator fan motor (241509402) is the most common fix when the fan is confirmed not spinning or running at a single speed.
A worn or failing evaporator fan motor can produce unusual rattling, humming, or grinding noises from inside the freezer section. Replacing the motor eliminates the noise and restores quiet operation.
When the evaporator fan motor fails, airflow over the coils is disrupted, causing moisture to freeze on the coils and back wall. Replacing the motor restores proper airflow and prevents abnormal frost accumulation.
💡 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 is warm while the freezer remains cold
⚠️ Error code SY EF (or 5Y EF) displayed on the control panel
⚠️ Unusual rattling, humming, or grinding noise from inside the freezer
⚠️ Excessive ice buildup on the evaporator coils or back wall of the freezer
🔍 Quick Test: Unplug the refrigerator and try spinning the fan blade by hand. If it does not spin freely or you hear grinding, replace the motor. If the blade spins freely, disconnect the motor connector and test for continuity with a multimeter — no continuity confirms a failed motor.
