\"How

\r\n

The Evaporator fan motor blows the air all over the evaporator coils and also through the refrigerator for cooling purposes. And it removes the heat in the circulating air. Commercial refrigeration applications use evaporator fan motors. Industrial refrigerator fan motors typically have one speed and are fractional horsepower in size and they move air across the evaporator coil. 

\r\n

Where is the evaporator fan motor in the freezer or refrigerator?

\r\n

The evaporator fan motor is at the back of the refrigerator or freezer, where a panel appears in the front. You need to remove the panel to check out the evaporator fan motor. To get through the panel, you need to remove all the shelves or racks that are placed inside the fridge.

\r\n

Now remove the shield and keep it aside from the freezer, in a safe place. You can find the Evaporator Fan right in front of you. Now, push the locking tabs and remove them slowly. Pull out the fan blade from the motor shaft. Now lift the 2 locking tabs on the fan motor, rotate the motor retainer in the clockwise direction, and remove it. Lift the motor from the mounting bracket. Now place the new motor in the same place, and put back the fan on top of it.

How do you test a refrigerator evaporator fan motor?

\r\n

To test the evaporator fan motor, you need to remove the Evaporator fan motor from the refrigerator and place it aside. To remove it follow the above steps that are mentioned in this blog. There will be two wires connected to the motor. You need to check those two wires.

\r\n

You need an OHM meter to perform this test. Put your needle on the OHM symbol. There are two tongs given to the meter, placed on the wires. If you receive the result as 97 ohms, then it is working and in a good condition. You can recheck it to confirm the correct results. If the readings are less than 97, it is not working properly and needs a replacement.

\r\n

If the evaporator fan malfunctions or the motor fails, the refrigerator won't chill effectively. The cool breeze is dispersed by the air, which serves as the primary source of cooling. You must replace the fan motor if it is broken or not operating properly.
