My refridgerator is making a chirping noise, similar to the sound a fire alarm makes when the battery is running low. Could this be the evaporator fan motor?
For model number ED5FVGXWS00
Hello Phyllis, Thank you for the question. I first suggest removing the fan blades and running the appliance to see if the noise stops. If not, the motor should be replaced. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

Brand new refrigerator. Evaporator fan motor while running, has a noticeable low hum which is louder than the compressor. The hum stops when opening the doors, or the motor shuts off. Is it normal for this motor to hum like this? Never heard this from other refrigerators before.
For model number WRS321SDHW01
Hello Steve,
Thank you for your question. Our sources say to fix the humming sound the motor itself would need to be replaced under part PS11740362 for your model. We hope this helps!

Freezer side working properly. Holds at -0 refrigerator side running around 40 to 45 degrees. Removed the back panel in freezer. Coils are fine and not iced up. Question is the fan variable speed fan? I also removed the damper at top of frig that lets the air from the freezer to refrigerator. It was opened all the way. Any thoughts on this? Could not test the thermastor. Ran diagnostic on the control panel it looks ok if i read it right
For model number 10651133213
Hi James,
Thank you for your question. This is a DC type motor that is run by the electronic control board in your refrigerator. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My freezer is functioning normal but my fridge is not cooling , i checked the coils no ice built up but when i open my freezer door the air starts circulating to the fridge section and when i close the freezer door the air stop circulating to the fridge, do you think the evaporator fan motor would be the problem?

My compressor is running but my evaporator and condenser fans are not running. This happened after a power fail. I am now attempting to run on generator power. I suspect that the control board is bad. Could anyone help with this problem. Or is there a way to reset this model?
For model number WRS321SDHZ01
Hello Rory, Thank you for the question. Normally this is an indication the Control Board was damaged with the power outage and may need to be replaced. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
Neither my refrigerator or freezer side is cooling. I replaced the relay, and the motor in the freezer is working. Help please?!?!
For model number WRS321SDH01
Hello Brandon, thank you for your question. It could be it is a problem with the evaporator coils. Over time, evaporator coils can become covered with ice, which prevents the coils from working properly. Or, you can check the Condenser Fan Motor PS11737958. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you.
