Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I access the evaporator fan motor?
The evaporator fan motor is typically located behind a rear panel inside the freezer compartment. You may need to remove shelves and ice maker components to access the panel. The panel is usually held in place by screws, often requiring a 1/4-inch nut driver.
•What voltage should I expect to see at the evaporator fan motor connector?
You should expect to see approximately 12V DC at the evaporator fan motor connector when the refrigerator is powered on and calling for cooling.
•How can I test the evaporator fan motor for continuity?
Disconnect the wiring harness from the evaporator fan motor. Set your multimeter to the ohms setting. Place the multimeter probes on the two terminals of the fan motor. A reading close to zero ohms indicates continuity. An open circuit (infinite resistance) indicates a faulty motor.
