Step-by-Step Solutions

1

Listen for Fan Operation

Open the freezer door and listen for the fan. If you don't hear it running, the motor may be faulty.

Safety: Keep door open only briefly to avoid temperature rise.
2

Check for Obstructions

Remove the fan cover and inspect for ice buildup or objects blocking the fan blades.

Safety: Disconnect power before removing any covers.

Safety: Only qualified technicians should perform electrical testing.

Replace Fan Motor

If the motor is defective, replace it with a genuine Whirlpool evaporator fan motor assembly.

Safety: Ensure proper wiring connections and secure mounting.
