This Part Fixes These Problems

Refrigerator Not Cooling

Fresh food compartment is warm even though compressor is running — failed fan stops cold air from circulating.

No Evaporator Fan Noise

Fan blade is not spinning or motor is seized; no airflow sound audible from behind the rear evaporator panel.

Ice Maker Not Making Ice

Reduced airflow caused by a failed evap fan motor prevents the freezer from maintaining temperature needed for ice production.

Loud or Unusual Noise

Worn motor bearings produce grinding, rattling, or humming sounds inside the refrigerator cabinet during operation.

Product Description

Why Choose Our W11101594 Evaporator Fan Motor Assembly?

🔧

❄️
Restores Full Cold-Air Circulation Circulates cold air evenly through the fresh food and freezer compartments, eliminating warm spots and bringing cooling performance back to factory levels.
🔇
Low-Noise Precision Bearings Upgraded motor bearings reduce operational noise compared to worn OEM units — your refrigerator will run quietly and efficiently again.
⚡
Direct Plug-In Fit 4-pin connector plugs directly into the OEM wiring harness on WRQA59CNKZ — no splicing, no adapters, no wiring modifications required.
🛠️
DIY-Friendly Installation Only a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a pocket screwdriver needed. Most homeowners complete this repair in 30–45 minutes without professional help.
💰
Fraction of OEM Cost The OEM successor part W11455373 lists for $233.03. Our aftermarket alternative delivers equivalent performance at a significantly lower price point.

💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Evaporator Fan Motor the Problem?

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

⚠️ Refrigerator compartment is warm but compressor is running normally

⚠️ No audible fan noise coming from behind the evaporator panel

⚠️ Ice maker has stopped producing ice despite normal freezer temps

⚠️ Unusual grinding, rattling, or humming sound from inside the fridge cavity

Quick check: Open the refrigerator door and listen for fan noise near the rear wall. If the compressor is running but you hear no fan, disconnect power, locate the evap fan behind the freezer back panel, and spin the blade by hand — stiff or rough rotation confirms a failed motor bearing. Replace immediately to prevent food spoilage.

Questions & Answers

Is W11101594 the same as W11455373?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. W11101594 is the original Whirlpool OEM part number for this evaporator fan motor assembly, and W11455373 is the current/updated OEM part number. They are mutual replacements — our aftermarket unit is compatible with both numbers and fits the Whirlpool WRQA59CNKZ refrigerator.
My fridge is running but not cooling — will replacing this fan motor fix it?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
If your compressor is running but you hear no fan noise from behind the freezer back panel, a failed evaporator fan motor is the most likely cause. The evap fan circulates cold air through both compartments; when it stops, the fridge warms up even though the compressor is working. Replacing the motor typically resolves this symptom.
What tools do I need to install this evaporator fan motor?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
You only need a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a small pocket/flathead screwdriver. No special appliance tools are required. The job takes most DIYers 30–45 minutes. Always unplug the refrigerator before starting and wear work gloves for safety.
What are the electrical specs of this fan motor?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
This evaporator fan motor runs at DC 12.7V and draws 0.44A. It features a 4-pin connector, a 150mm fan blade diameter, and a 70cm lead wire length — identical to the OEM W11455373 specification documented on the Whirlpool WRQA59CNKZ parts diagram.
Will this part fit my Whirlpool 4-door counter-depth refrigerator?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
This part is confirmed compatible with Whirlpool model WRQA59CNKZ (Counter Depth 4 Door, 19.4 cu.ft., 36-inch wide). Please verify your model number on the label inside the refrigerator door jamb before ordering. If you are unsure, contact our support team with your full model number and we will confirm fitment.

We typically respond within 1 business day. Include your appliance model number for the fastest answer.
