LG Refrigerator DC Motor Assembly (EAU64843805)

The motor assembly powers the fan that circulates cold air throughout the refrigerator compartment, keeping temperatures consistent from shelf to shelf and into the freezer section. It spins the fan blade at a controlled speed so cool air reaches every area of the fridge, helping the appliance maintain the set temperature without overworking the compressor.

This motor can wear out over time due to normal friction on the internal bearings, exposure to moisture or ice buildup around the fan housing, or prolonged use at high cycling rates. A failing motor may run slower than intended, seize up entirely, or produce unusual sounds as internal components break down and can no longer sustain steady rotation.

If you are noticing any of these issues with your refrigerator, a worn motor assembly may be the cause:

- Refrigerator is not cooling properly or temperatures are inconsistent

- Freezer section is cold but fresh food compartment is warm

- Loud humming, buzzing, or rattling coming from inside the refrigerator

- Fan blade is spinning but airflow feels weak or restricted

- Fan stops running entirely and no air movement is detected

- Ice buildup around the fan area caused by poor air circulation

- Refrigerator runs constantly trying to reach the set temperature
