Evaporator Fan Motor burnt out because fan got stuck in frame wall during transportation
1 person found this instruction helpful.
  • Dmitriyev from Ruther Glen, VA
  • Really Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
1st Turn off power. Removed freezer racks. Removed access panel to bottom back of freezer. Disconnect the wire harness to fan motor. Use 5/16 nut driver for removing fan motor from support. Removed fan blade from motor and put fan blade on the new fan motor. Bought new fan blades, but new fan blade would not work on new motor. Spring moun t would fit on new fan blades, so I use the old one. Installed everything in reverse. Put everything back. Place thermometer in freezer. Freezer cooled down to -10F in 10 minutes. Great save on this one because I bought this freezer off of Facebook marketplace. Saved me $250. Good thing I know about fixing refrigeration equipment. Easy day.

replace a bad door seal
1 person found this instruction helpful.
  • Richard from Fairborn, OH
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 1- 2 hours
  • Screw drivers, Wrench set
Loosened the screws all around the door. easier if you take the door off the unit and lay it on a table. Cover the table with a blanket to protect the door finish. Old gasket just pulls loose. Press the raised bead on the new gasket under the plastic strip. Corners were the most difficult. Retighten the the screws and rehang the door . It took some practice to get the bead under the plastic strip.

Lost Key
1 of 2 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Kelli from Goosecreek, SC
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
It's easy to know how to use a key. I didn't have a difficult part, I didn't have the model # because I had lost my key and the model # is inside. I was able to find the energy saving paper that came with it but it had four model #'s. I called a couple places and no could me. I pulled up Part Select on line and just thought I would giv e them a try. I got a very nice person (Jeremy) He went thru every model that I had and three out of the four matched so he sent me a key and if it didn't work I could get my money back. I give him a A+ four taking that extra step, unlike the other places. Very satisfied!

Fan would not start occasionally
  • Mike from Satellite Beach, FL
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
I unscrewed the screws that held the old fan on, disconnected the wiring harness and removed the old fan. I pulled the blades off the motor and put it on the new fan. One thing of note, the screw holes on the new fan weren't threaded. I assume this is by design, so I used the screws to thread the holes before installing it in the freezer . Once I did this, the rest of the installation was easy, just screw it back in and connect the wiring harness.

Evaporator Fan Motor Noise
  • Louis from Leander, TX
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
The evaporator fan would make a very high-pitched whine/squealing noise usually after starting up after a defrost cycle, although, it would make the same noises during normal operation. After performing a thorough inspection of the fan blade and motor, I discovered that there was no interference to the rotating fan, and realized the motor must be failing. After removing the food and racks from the main body of the freezer, I had to remove 8 Philips-tipped screws that held the inside back panel cover on. I disconnected the fan motor from the main wiring harness, removed the fan mounting bracket (2 5/16" hex head screws), and then removed the fan motor from the mounting bracket (2 5/16" hex head bolts. I removed the fan blade and conducted a visual inspection, and found not blemishes of broken/damaged pieces. I mounted the new motor and used the existing fan blade, and replaced everything in the reverse order. I turned on the freezer and it has been operating perfectly since. I disassembled the old motor and discovered that the stator coils were worn, and the bearings allowed to much forward/aft motion.

When I was ready to instal fan motor, I noticed that there was no thread where I was supposed to screw in the bolts
  • hector from los fresnos, TX
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers, Wrench set
When i found out there was no thread in brace where bolts were supposed to screw in, I panicked. I thought I would have to send part back or go to a machine shop to make a thread. I called a friend for help and he told me the bolts would make the thread if I just screwed them in. Sure enough, the bolts made the thread and then I just proc eeded to instal motor and put refrigerator back together. It was simple.
