This is a blower motor, also known as evaporator fan motor, for a refrigerator. It features a 3-wire connector. The motor powers the fan to circulate air through the fridge to your fresh food compartment. This allows for efficient cooling.

Easy repair
The part was the one I needed, fit perfectly. I was worried the plugin was going to be different but it worked. Very easy to replace. I was surprised the part only lasted 4 years but to fix it myself only cost $85 and a 5 day wait. I'm lucky I had an old refrigerator to back me up to wait for the part. I was very happy the replacement fixed the problem.

Delayed shipment and shipping overcharge
The evaporator fan motor is working fine after I received it. However, the motor was not shipped the same day that I ordered as advertised on website, but two days later. I paid 3-day shipping charge, but not receiving it till after 7 days later. Do not promise something that you can not deliver.

Very slow shipping!
No issues with the part. The issue was; I ordered the part online and paid extra for 1-3 days shipping. After 4 days and no part, I called the company. They instructed me that the part was on backorder and it would be weeks before it came in. I explained my frustration of paying extra for shipping to receive the part in 1-3 days with no offer of credit or reimbursement from the company. PartsSelect profits extra $ on backorders!

Refrigerator not cooling, Freezer working fine
Frig area was at about 50 degrees and would not get cooler. Freezer was working great. Empty the freezer and remove the two screws that hold the back panel of the inside of the freezer on. Pull the panel out and you will see the fan that is mounted to the back of the panel. If the fan is not running, disconnect it (quick con
... Read morenector) and check to see if there is voltage coming to it from the connector (should be 120VAC between the two wires). If there is power, and the fan was not working, replace the fan.
Fan just snaps into the holder on the back panel and plugs into the quick connector. Make sure you clear any ice build-up in the hole between the freezer and the frig that the fans blows through. Put it back together and verify the fan runs.

Freezer seemed ok, though frosty, but the bottom section was not cold enough, and the compressor seemed to run constantly.
The lower compartment was hovering around 50 degrees. Logic told me that cold air was not being driven from the freezer to the lower compartment. At first, I found the passageway between freezer and lower compartment was blocked with frost/ice, which could have been the entire problem. But why was that ice accumulated there? After def
... Read morerosting, the problem was only partly solved. A few how-to videos suggested that the defrost timer was a common problem, so I tried that, the part was about $11, with minimal improvement. So I concluded that the fan was not driving cold air from the freezer to the lower section. I tested the fan by removing the freezer back panel completely, wiring the fan to an old ordinary power cord, and plugging that in to a wall outlet. The fan would not start on its own, would only turn if I gave it a spin, and then was very weak - I could stop it with a finger without pain! When my new fan arrived, I again removed the back panel in the freezer and replaced the fan, just a few screws to remove, then swap the fan blade to the new fan motor. The process was simple and obvious. Now the lower section stays near 40 degrees, though I'm not convinced that's the only problem-there seems to be a lot of variation in the temperature. BTW, I had also confirmed the defrost heating element was functional by activating the defrost timer (see youtube), to eliminate that from the diagnosis.

Evaporator fan doesn't run. Freezer is very cold below 0 if I set the control that low. Defrost tube is cold. Without the fan working refrigerator is 50 degrees. At times it sounded like the fan may have been pulsating before it guit working. Is there anything to check besides replacing the evaporator fan motor.
For model number FFTR2021TWO
Hello Tim, thank you for contacting us. Mostly the failure of the evaporator motor, part number PS12728811, is caused by ice build-up in the evaporator coils and motor. If you notice constant built-up ice around the coils of the evaporator, we would suggest checking the defrost thermostat, part number PS6448122, and the defrost heater PS2581595. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of assistance!
How do I access the evaporator fan motor to replace it?
Where is it located in the fridge?
For model number Fftr2021td2
Hi Ron, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, the evaporator fan motor is located on the back inner panel of the freezer section. To replace the evaporator fan motor, remove the shelf and ice maker if installed. Then, remove the two nuts on the front of the panel. Pull the panel out after removing the wire harnesses attached. Remove two retaining clips on the evaporator motor cover. Remove the front air damper control by slighting it up. Pull the fan blade out. Then, remove the rear motor retaining grommet by rotating anticlockwise. Remove the motor washer from the front and take the evaporator motor off and replace it. We hope this helps!

will this fix noisy fan motor? cooling and freezer not an issue. just very loud hum when fan runs thank you
For model number ffss2614qs6a
Hello Seth, Thank you for your inquiry. If the fan motor is very noisy, then we would recommend replacing it. Also check the fan blade to make sure it is not catching on anything. We hope this helps and 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!
freezer works fine, fridge not cooling, evaporater fan not running when i plkug it un. should it be running when compressor is?
For model number fftro2021 tw1
Hello Doug, Thank you for your inquiry. The evaporator fan motor should run anytime the compressor and condenser fan motor are running. The air damper control then releases the cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. We hope this helps and 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!
