Description
About This Part
The fan motor circulates air so every shelf holds temperature. When it fails you’ll notice warm spots, a fridge section that won’t cool while the freezer does, or a fan you can no longer hear running. A new motor restores even cooling.
Many owners fit this themselves; if you’d rather not, any local repairer can fit the part you supply.
