Frequently Asked Questions
•What is the DC voltage I should expect to see at the evaporator fan motor connector when the refrigerator is calling for cooling?
You should expect to see approximately 12V DC at the connector when the refrigerator is calling for cooling. Use your multimeter to verify this voltage, placing the probes on the appropriate pins as indicated in the wiring diagram.
•How do I access the evaporator fan motor behind the rear panel in the freezer?
Typically, you will need to remove the shelves and any ice maker components from the freezer compartment. Then, use a 1/4-inch nut driver to remove the screws securing the rear panel. Be careful not to damage any wiring or components when removing the panel.
•Where can I find a wiring diagram for my Frigidaire refrigerator to properly test the evaporator fan motor?
The wiring diagram is often located on the back of the refrigerator or inside the control panel housing. You can also find it online by searching for the model number of your refrigerator followed by 'wiring diagram.' AppliancePartsPros.com and RepairClinic.com often have these diagrams available.
