There are many issues that lead to the breakdown. Troubleshoot the following to help determine if you can find an easy fix, or if you need to call a service professional. Usually, when a refrigerator stops working that implies trouble with normal cooling. And an evaporator fan plays a crucial role in the process. The evaporator fan motor directs air over the evaporator (cooling) coils and circulates it throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Some refrigerators have more than one evaporator fan motor. Refrigerators with only one evaporator fan usually have it located in the freezer compartment. If the evaporator fan stops working, cold air will no longer flow to the refrigerator. So, while the freezer may still feel cold, the refrigerator will not continue to get cold. Locate the evaporator behind the refrigerator unit and try turning the fan blade by hand. A fan blade not turning freely, or the motor being unusually noisy or not running at all, would both be good indications that it’s time to replace the evaporator fan motor. If the evaporator fan motor is worn, you will need a replacement evaporator fan motor.
