Fridge or freezer temperature rises above set point even though the compressor is running. The failed evaporator fan stops cold air from circulating through both compartments.
Worn motor bearings produce squealing, grinding, or rattling sounds from the back interior of the refrigerator, especially when the compressor cycles on.
Without proper airflow from the fan, moisture accumulates and freezes heavily on the evaporator coils, restricting airflow further and accelerating cooling failure.
The evaporator fan blade does not spin when the compressor is active and the refrigerator door is closed, confirming a failed motor that needs replacement.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Confirm Your Evaporator Fan Motor Is Faulty
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Refrigerator or freezer compartment is too warm despite compressor running
⚠️ Unusual squealing, grinding, or rattling noise from the back of the fridge
⚠️ Excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils in the freezer section
⚠️ Fan visibly not spinning when the door is closed and compressor is on
🔬 Diagnostic tip: With the fridge plugged in, check for 12V DC at the motor connector (J2 Pin 3 white to Pin 8 red on the main control board). If 12V is present but the motor doesn't spin, the motor has failed and needs replacement. No voltage points to a control board or wiring harness issue instead.
