This Part Fixes These Problems

Warm Refrigerator Section

Freezer stays cold but fresh food compartment won't cool down — failed evaporator fan stops cold air from circulating to the fridge side.

Warm Freezer Section

Freezer temperature rises above safe levels because the fan motor is no longer drawing air across the evaporator coils.

Loud or Grinding Noise

Worn motor bearings cause grinding, rattling, or buzzing sounds from behind the freezer back panel during normal operation.

Excessive Frost Buildup

Insufficient airflow from a failing fan allows moisture to accumulate and freeze heavily on evaporator coils, reducing cooling efficiency.

Fridge Fan Not Running

Motor has seized or burned out entirely — the fan blade does not turn even when power is applied, halting all air circulation.

Product Description

Why Choose Our DA31-00342A Evaporator Fan Motor?

❄️
Restores Full-Compartment Airflow Draws air over the evaporator coils and circulates it throughout both the refrigerator and freezer sections, eliminating warm spots and uneven temperatures.
🔇

🛡️

⚡

🔩
Tool-Minimal DIY Install Only a Phillips screwdriver required. Pre-routed wiring connector plugs directly into the factory harness — no splicing or adapters needed.

💡 Pro Tip: Diagnosing Your Samsung Evaporator Fan Motor

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Refrigerator section is warm but freezer stays cold (or vice versa)

⚠️ Unusual grinding, buzzing, or rattling noise from behind the freezer back wall

⚠️ Excessive frost build-up on evaporator coils due to insufficient airflow

⚠️ Fan blade does not spin freely when turned by hand after unplugging the unit

🔍 Quick test: Unplug the refrigerator, remove the freezer back panel, and try spinning the fan blade manually. If it resists or wobbles, replace the motor. Also check for 12V DC at the motor connector with a multimeter — no voltage points to a control board issue rather than the motor itself.

Questions & Answers

Is this DA31-00342A motor compatible with my RS28A500ASR/AA-00?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes — the RS28A500ASR/AA-00 is a confirmed compatible model for the DA31-00342A evaporator fan motor. It is a direct drop-in replacement requiring only a Phillips screwdriver for installation.
What does BLDC mean, and why does it matter?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
BLDC stands for Brushless DC motor. Unlike older brush-type motors, a BLDC motor has no physical brushes to wear out, which means quieter operation, longer service life, and lower energy consumption — all important qualities for a component that runs continuously inside your refrigerator.
My freezer is cold but the fridge section is warm. Is the evaporator fan motor the problem?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
This is the classic symptom of a failed evaporator fan motor. The motor circulates cold air from the evaporator coils into both compartments. When it fails, one section (usually the fridge side) loses cooling while the other may remain temporarily cold. Test by opening the freezer — if you can't hear or feel the fan running, replace the DA31-00342A motor.
Does this replacement include the fan blade?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
This listing includes the DA31-00342A motor assembly only. In most cases your existing fan blade is reusable — simply transfer it to the new motor shaft and secure with the original retaining clip. If your blade is cracked or damaged, the compatible fan blade part number for Samsung RS/RF series is DA31-20138A.
What is the voltage and speed spec of the DA31-00342A?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
The DA31-00342A is rated at 12V DC and operates at approximately 1850 RPM, matching the original Samsung ARES2130RA motor specification. This ensures proper airflow volume and cooling performance consistent with the factory design of your refrigerator.
