Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor (W11224591)

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor is a vital component in your refrigerator's cooling system. Its primary function is to circulate air over the evaporator coils and throughout the refrigerator compartment. This process helps maintain a consistent temperature, ensuring your food stays fresh and properly preserved. By moving the cold air, the fan motor aids in the efficient operation of the refrigerator, preventing warm spots and reducing the risk of spoilage.

Common causes of failure for the evaporator fan motor include wear and tear over time, electrical issues, or obstructions that prevent the fan blades from turning. When the fan motor fails, it can lead to inadequate cooling, causing the refrigerator to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. This can result in increased energy consumption and potential damage to other components.

If you suspect the evaporator fan motor is malfunctioning, look for the following symptoms:

• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, such as grinding or squealing sounds.
• Inconsistent temperatures within the refrigerator compartment.
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils.
• Refrigerator running continuously or more frequently than usual.
• Noticeable decrease in cooling efficiency.
