evaporator fan

Hi Folks. Got this issue with my Fridgidaire Gallery fridge. It is 9 years old... 2 days ago I get "EF - SY" error, fan does not spin. I am getting 12v from Evaporator fan motor plug from the fridge too. How else can I diagnose it myself? Fridge goes to freeze/unfreeze cycles, but EV fan not...

The issue I am having is that the freezer/icemakers work fine, but the FC doesn't cool. I bought a new evaporator fan for the FC and got it all taken apart and put it all back together before making sure it worked. I hear things spin up on Test 3 #4 but cant feel any airflow from the tower at...

Hello I have an error Code e rF on my LG LMXS30776S/03 referigerator. Based on previous discussions around this error, it seems that I would need to replace the evaporator fan motor. Based on this thread...

Hi, My repair puzzle for the day for anyone at home and bored. Day1: I have a Frigidaire FGUN2642LF6 double door bottom freezer type. Not freezing, Compressor not running. I ran through the diagnostics , All seems good except test15 Evaporator fan is not running - which I had replaced once...

The freezer seems to get cold and freeze. The fresh foods section doesn't as it stays around 8.4c - 10c. I've unplugged the fridge for 24 hours, cleaned the condenser coil and fan in the back, I've taken apart the freezer wall and checked the evaporator fan and evap coils The evaporator fan is...

I have a Crosley upright freezer about 5 years old. The evaporator fan motor went out and I replaced it with a new one. The new one worked for about 2 minutes and then sparked and shorted out. There is no visible damage to any wires. What could cause this and what needs to be done to prevent it...

Good morning all, Thanks for taking the time to help me diagnosis the issue with my fridge. I'm really trying to avoid paying $1,000 for a new one! I have a side-by-side GE fridge; the sticker on the back says it was manufactured in 1999. The issue started a week or two ago. The top of the...

I have an issue with my Frigidaire side by side fridge. We lost power during a hurricane and ran it on a generator. Ever since then the fridge has not cooled properly. When I began troubleshooting the issue I found the evaporator fan was not running so I figured I found the issue. I replaced the...

Hi! New here and was impressed by all the threads that have been posted and the responses received. Hoping that someone can help me figure this out too. We got a Kenmore Elite Coldspot Side-by-Side, Counter depth refrigerator about 3 years ago. About 6 weeks ago, the evaporator fan stopped...

Good Morning - I've got a GE ZIS480D built in side by side. I'm having a curious issue that I can't get my head around and am looking for thoughts on it. The obvious issue is that the digital temp readout in the fresh food section is off by as much as 10 degrees. It'll read 31 or 32 degrees but...

We have noise coming from our fridge which we pinpointed to the evaporator fan. There was ice buildup that we got rid of. We were wondering if a bad grommet is to blame for the noise. If we open up the back wall of the fridge and slightly push on the fan it will run much more quietly for a...

Hi, I have a 17 year old Kitchenaid fridge that is unable to keep the fresh food section cool. After a couple of trips from technician and a few new parts the fridge is still suffering the same problem. I have found the RPM of evaporator fan to be the issue here. The evaporator fan was...

An SY EF error came up on the fridge - when researching it advised that this was an evaporator fan error. We replaced the fan and still not working. We tested the wires from the evaporator fan to the mother board and confirmed continuity. There is a slight building up of ice on the coils due...

Experienced a power surge today and the evaporator fan motor is not running and does not dispense water. Can hear the compressor running and feel cold in freezer and fridge sides, inside lights come on and instrument panel indicators lit up. But do not hear fan or air moving in the freezer...

Hi, I am an avid DIY guy; enjoy fixing pretty much anything in/around my house. Seems the next in line is my Whirlpool Gold Side by Side. I have been out of town and upon my return, I realized the fan in my fridge keeps cycling on and off. My roommate cannot tell me how long it has been like...

I am hoping someone can give me a little advice about my Bosch refrigerator. About 2 months ago I noticed a sheet of ice at the bottom of my freezer. Then I began to notice water pooling on my floor. Then the refrigerator started to get warm and I decided to call a repair man. He told me to...

Bought a new WRF990SLAM from Lowes, and they delivered it a couple of weeks ago. First off, I love the features and how this thing looks. My only concern is the constant droning noise that emits from the belly of the beast. It'd driving me mad. I ran the diagnostics, and narrowed it down to...

Why won't the evaporator fan stop running during defrost? Warm air is melting my ice cubes and than they refreeze. Do I need a new fan motor? Frigidaire model #FRT18LN5BQ0

Hi, My Maytag stopped cooling both the fridge side and the freezer. I can hear the compressor and coil fan working. so I removed the back panel and found the evaporator fan was not working. there is some frost built up on the evaporator but not much and I can rotate the blade by hand so there...

Maytag MTF1842EEW00 from Sept 2008. The freezer is cold, still making ice. Fridge is warm. Evap fan is running. I'm assuming I have a defrost issue, but wanted to get a second opinion. I know there's an element, a timer and something called a bi-metal. Is there anything under the cover at the...
