Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brand names, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Evaporator Fan Motor Kit is a genuine part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. This kit comes with the evaporator fan motor and the necessary mounting components for proper installation and functionality. The role of the evaporator fan motor is to circulate air over the evaporator coils and throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent cooling and efficient operation.

If the evaporator fan motor becomes faulty, it should be replaced. Common causes of a malfunctioning motor include electrical issues, wear and tear from regular use, or mechanical failure. A defective motor can result in uneven cooling, higher energy consumption, or the refrigerator failing to maintain the correct temperature.

Signs of a bad evaporator fan motor may include:

- The refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
- Unusual noises such as squealing, humming, or grinding from the motor area
- The fan not spinning or spinning inconsistently
- Increased frost buildup in the freezer

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
