Product Description

Evaporator Fan Motor - 115V 60Hz - Blade NOT Included Specifications

This is an evaporator fan motor for a refrigerator. The fan motor circulates air through the refrigerator to the fresh food compartment for efficient cooling. It is just over three inches long. It is made of both metal and plastic, and is made up of black, white, and metallic pieces. Disconnect power from your refrigerator before starting the repair because you will be working near electrical circuits. This is an authentic replacement part that is sourced directly from the original manufacturer. It is important to note that the blade is sold separately and is not included with the evaporator fan motor.

noisy fan motor, fridge & freezer not holding temp
I took off the ice maker, disconected the wiring, took out the back of the freezer and took out the fan motor. Harder than I thought because of all the wiring back there, light, fan assembly etc. After that it was easy, took out the old motor & installed the new one. Runs much quieter now, and the fridge & freezer are much colder.
I did this for less than the price of a service call by a repair shop.

evaporator fan was noisy
First I unplugged the refrigerator. Next item was the ice-maker; remove (3) screws and unplug it from the back wall. Third task is remove the (4) screws that attach the back wall of the freezer compartment. Lift the wall up enough to dislodge the center cooling shaft that the fan rides in and remove the rear wall. The last item is the fan motor which is attached to the freezer wall by (2) screws and (3) wires which are easily removed. Change out the motor and reassemble freezer compartment .

Fan Motor making screaming noise
First I unplugged the refrigerator, then next I removed the (4) screws holding in the inside back panel section of the freezer covering the cooling coils, the fan motor is attached to the removable panel.
I then unplugged the wiring harness to the fan motor which allows you to completely remove the freezer inside panel in order to replace the fan motor on a counter top or benchtop.
I removed the (3) spade terminal wiring from the fan motor and the nuts holding the motor on the frame. I then replaced the fan motor and blade the same way I had removed the old one, and then reattached the wiring terminals on the same terminals as the existing motor, making sure that black, red, and green do not get mixed up. I placed the rear panel back inside freezer and plugged in the wiring harness, fit panel back to original position and reinstalled the (4) panel screws. I once again plugged in the refrigerator and restored power. Everything is working fine.

Side by side refer. Refer side not cooling enough
Fan motor was blowing air and was confusing but replaced motor and found that it was not blowing enough. It took two screws in the freezer side to expose the evaporator and it's fan. The fan slides out after disconnecting three wire plug ins and then the motor can be swapped.

Fan motor shot. Giaf329415-29b this is a 16cu. Ft. Water was not evaporating.
For model number CTM1722ARA
PartSelect logo
Hi Ken, Thank you for your inquiry. If the water is not evaporating from the drain pan there is a air flow problem in your refrigerator. Clean both the front grill located under the refrigerator door and the condenser coils. Also make sure that the condenser fan motor is working correctly. You will need to check if there is frost or ice build up near the drain as well. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Freeze working fine, refrigerator compartment not cold about 42 degrees on the highest mark.
For model number MTB2456AEW

Hello Joann, Thank you for the question. We suggest checking the Evaporator Fan Motor at the back of the Freezer. This fan helps circulate the Cold air into the Fresh Food Section. We hope this helps!

Hello, Thank you for writing. It depends on what is not working. If the unit is not spinning at all you would need to replace the motor. Please submit a new question if you have any follow ups. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

I notice that in this video the orange and blue wires look like they are reversed than on my unit. (the last motor shorted and so there is a slight amount of black on the blue terminal and on one of the connectors on the old motor) How can I be sure which way the wires go?
For model number MTB2656DEW
