Frequently Asked Questions
•Where can I find the evaporator fan motor in my Maytag refrigerator?
The evaporator fan motor is typically located behind an access panel in the freezer compartment. You may need to remove shelves and other components to gain access.
•How do I test the evaporator fan motor with a multimeter?
Disconnect the power to the refrigerator. Disconnect the fan motor connector. Set your multimeter to the ohms setting. Place the probes on the motor's terminals. A reading of infinity or zero indicates a failed motor. Refer to the service manual for the specific resistance range for your model.
•What is the correct voltage reading I should expect at the evaporator fan motor connector?
You should expect to measure approximately 12V DC at the evaporator fan motor connector when the refrigerator is powered on and calling for cooling. If no voltage is present, the MCU or wiring harness may be faulty.
