Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor WPW10189703

Hello Geoff, thank you for your question. That issue is usually caused by the evaporator fan motor. I would suggest locating the motor, and watching the motor run until it shuts off to see if the noise is coming from there. If it is, the Evaporator Fan Motor - 60Hz 120V WPW10189703 would have to be replaced. I hope this helps!

Hello Jim, thank you for your question. You can remove the back panel in the freezer to see if the fan is turning. You may also want to check the temperature control part number PS11756369. If the back vent was frozen this could have caused the motor to not turn and burn out. I hope this helps!

Hi Shirley, Thank you for your question. You model does not have a draining tube or tray for your freezer section. I imagine that you would need to check your thermostat to see if it is working correctly. It sounds like your freezer just is not staying cold enough. You could also check your run capacitor and your start relay as well. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Craig, Thank you for the question. This sounds like an issue with the thermostat,PartSelect Number PS11756369.This cold control thermostat helps maintains the proper temperature in the refrigerator. Hope this helps!

Hello Lance, Thank you for the question. In most cases if there is a loud noise coming from the freezer and it is not cooling normally, the evaporator fan motor will need to be replaced. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

Hi Geoff, Thank you for contacting us back. There is a condenser fan motor in that location of the refrigerator. This fan motor circulates the air through the refrigerator grille and cools the compressor and condenser coils. It also helps to evaporate extra water in the drain pan. It may be causing the noise you are hearing. You will need to inspect it to see if it is causing the noise. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Fred, Thank you for your question. I would suggest you check your air diffuser between the fridge and the freezer at the back of your fridge. It sounds like the flap that closes them off from each other may be open too much. You may also want to check the evaporator drain pan in your freezer as well. Make sure there are no cracks or any damage that could be causing a leak. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Steve, Thank you for your inquiry. There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the capacitor, the evaporator fan motor, the compressor relay and overload and the bi-metal defrost thermostat. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Dominique, thank you for your question. It sounds like what you might be talking about are the grommets. I have linked the part below for you. You would need to get two, one for the front and one for the back of the motor. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Dennis, thank you for your question. When you are having temperature problems in your fridge, there are a few parts that could cause the issue. You can use a multi meter to test most of the parts. Make sure you cut power to your appliance before doing any repairs or tests. First you should test your defrost thermostat. Place the thermostat in ice cold water for 2-3 minutes after removing it from your appliance. It should be reading 0 ohms to be working correctly. Another part to check would be your defrost heater. Remove it from the appliance. It should be reading anywhere between 0 - 50 ohms to be working. You could check your temperature sensor. To find the correct reading for this part you will have to refer to your tech sheet that comes with your appliance. You can usually find this tech sheet behind the bottom grille of your fridge on either the right or left side. These are the most common parts that cause this issue in your appliance. So it is suggested you check them first. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
