5300158289 - Electrolux Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor

This Electrolux Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor (5300158289) is a genuine part compatible with specific models from brands such as Electrolux, Frigidaire, Tappan, Gibson, and Kelvinator. It plays a crucial role by spinning a fan to blow air over the cold, refrigerant-filled evaporator coils, circulating cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments for efficient heat removal. This ensures that your appliance maintains the perfect conditions for preserving your food. It's designed to minimize vibrations while providing continuous airflow, essential for temperature regulation within your refrigerator by aiding in the forced convection heat transfer. Often referred to as "motor-evap fan" or simply an evaporator fan motor, this component features a shaft that smoothly rotates the fan blades, thanks to the motor's bearings. Mounted in the center hub, it has three lead wire terminals and a shaft diameter of 1/8 inches, and a length of 1-1/4 inches. If you notice your refrigerator is warming up or failing to maintain the correct temperature, it might be time to inspect and possibly replace the evaporator fan motor. Symptoms of a malfunctioning fan motor include unusual noises from the fan area, ice buildup in the freezer compartment, or a refrigerator that doesn't cool properly. Before purchasing, be sure to confirm your device's model number to ensure compatibility.
