Fresh food compartment temperature rises (may reach 50–57°F) while the freezer continues to work normally. A failed evaporator fan stops cold air from circulating into the fridge section.
Motor bearings wear out over time, causing squealing, thunking, or clicking sounds from inside the fresh food compartment or rear panel area.
When the fan motor fails, stagnant airflow allows excessive frost to accumulate on the evaporator coils and surrounding components behind the rear panel.
Control board detects no RPM signal from the fresh food fan motor. Fan may appear to spin but provides no feedback signal, indicating a failed or incompatible motor.
💡 Pro Tip: Diagnosing a Failed Fresh Food Evaporator Fan
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Refrigerator section not cooling but freezer is working fine (fridge warm, freezer cold)
⚠️ Squealing, clicking, or thunking noise coming from inside the fresh food compartment
⚠️ Frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils behind the rear panel
⚠️ Error code 106 "FF Fan Feedback Missing" displayed on the control panel
🔬 Quick test: Open the fresh food compartment and listen for the fan running. No sound = likely failed motor. Confirm by checking 12–14VDC at the red/black supply wires — if voltage is present but fan doesn't spin, replace the motor. Note: Units manufactured May 2014 – March 2015 (serial range HD–FF) may require a software update module (WR98R882802 or WR98R6353202) for full compatibility.
