Refrigerator suddenly not staying cold. Freezer icing up about 1 month before.
Noticed the evaporator fan not spinning but would spin with a finger jump start. After looking up the part on the PartSelect liner parts diagram I found the installation video that really helped. After installing the fan it tested out fantastic. The fan was blowing air 10 times more than the old one. Refrigerator works great on the origin

The freezer section was working fine. Not properly cooling the refrigerator
I looked on line to see what was causes of the problem and determined that it was probably the fan in the freezer not working. I took the back section of the freezer apart and saw the fan was not running. I checked the parts on line and found that it was availiable and ordered a new fan motor. The blade looked fine, but I ordered a gro

When the fan motor arrived, I began disconnecting the old one after unpluging the refridgerator and noting the terminals for the wires. The wire terminals were in a slightly different location, but reasoned out which wire belonged to the correct location. I pulled the old fan motor out, switched out the fan blade and grommet and re-incerted the new fan motor. I reconnected the wires and re-assembled the rear wall of the freezer. I plugged in the refridgerator and wa-la! It worked.
Loud noise. Noise would get louder with freezer door open. Noise stopped and refrigerator stopped cooling.
Noticed refrigerator making a noise, the noise would get louder when the freezer side door would be open. After awhile the noise stopped and noticed the refrigerator was no longer cooling. Looked in the freezer and noticed the back was iced up around the evaporator panel. Removed food and shelves on freezer side to gain access to the e
... Read morevaporator panel. Turned the Defrost timer knob manually to melt ice build up. Unplugged refrigerator. Then removed the 11 screws(1/4 inch screwheads). Noticed evaporater fan was stuck on fan shroud. Removed 2 (1/4 inch screwheads) and pulled the fan motor out. Noticed front bearing was leaking a black residue and that the motor shaft was extremely loose and not spinning true. Put back in for time being to order parts. Ordered parts from Partselect.com, website was easy to navigate and they had excellent diagrams of the parts. Ordered new evaporater fan, grommets, and fan blade. Received parts next day sooner then expected. Took a digital picture of fan motor wires to ensure proper re-install of wires afterwards. Unplugged refrigerator, removed two power wires and green grounding wire to fan motor. Took note of fan position on shaft and direction of fan fins. Took 2 (1/4 inch screwheads) to remove fan motor from fan motor mount. Removed old fan blade from old fan motor shaft to get front motor mount bracket off old motor. Put new grommets on new fan motor, put in fan motor mount, installed 2 screws. Installed new fan blade shaft on new motor shaft made sure it was the same depth on shaft as the old set up. Reinstalled motor into refrigerator with two screws, reinstalled wires, verified correctly hooked up with digital picture took. Plugged refrigerator back in, verified fan worked and proper direction of air flow, began cooling. Reinstalled panel and 11 screws, shelves and waiting for it to cool down before putting food back in. Cooled down, no problems since and noise is gone. Looked at old motor and noticed front bearing failed and wore down the shaft causing it to spin out of round and make the loud noise. Thank you Partselect.com for having the great web-site to navigate and diagrams to verify I was getting the correct parts.

Our fridge suddenly started making a lot of noise in the freezer area. Got louder when we opened doors and draw. Both fridge and freezer were not cooling. Need to know do we buy the fan blade or the motor?

Hello Amy, Thank you for writing. We would advise checking the motor first. You may also have an issue with your run capacitor as well. Hope this helps!

The freezer fan motor is some what loose, there is a rubber grommet on the front but not the back (behind the motor), should there be? Or should grommet #25 be replaced?

The fan in the back of the freeze is not running fast enough to blow air. The fridge is not cold enough. Ice doesn't freeze. It gets cold, but no air moves.Do i need to replace the fan motor?
For model number WRT511SZDM00
Hello Joseph, thank you for inquiring. For this symptom you will want to consider either the Capacitor part PS11757023, the Evaporator Fan Motor part PS11740359, or the Start Relay part PS11754876 for your model. We hope this helps.

My freezer is not getting below 32 degrees. I have checked everything that i can think of from ice build up behind the freezer panel to the coils needing clean and nothing is helping. What else could be wrong?
For model number wrt348fmes00
Hi Darrick,
Thank you for your question. If the refrigerator is too warm, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the evaporator fan motor and the start relay. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

The freezer is working fine, there is some air coming from the fan. I am trying to determine 2hether the lower vents are blocked by ice, or if problem is something else. I cannot seem to get the cowling at the top of the refrigerator compartment separated from the one on the back wall. I don't want to break it.
For model number A1RXNGFYW00
Hi Greg, thank you for reaching out. Based on the description, you probably have an issue with the defrost thermostat, part number PS11754118. We would recommend replacing the defrost thermostat to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
