SM10141 – Supco Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor

The SM10141 Supco Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor is a high-quality aftermarket replacement motor designed for compatible GE-built refrigerators. Located at the back of the freezer, this motor circulates air over the evaporator coils to help maintain consistent cooling throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Manufactured by Supco, the SM10141 is designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. It operates at 115V, 60 Hz and 3 watts, with a 1/8-inch shaft diameter and 1-3/8-inch shaft length. Appliance Kingdom serves customers across Canada with appliance replacement parts and nationwide shipping options.

If your refrigerator has poor cooling, unusual fan noise, or frost-related issues, replacing a faulty evaporator fan motor may restore proper airflow when the motor is confirmed to be the cause.

Function & Importance of the Evaporator Fan Motor

The evaporator fan motor circulates cold air from the evaporator area through the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Proper airflow helps maintain suitable food-storage temperatures and supports consistent cooling performance.

When the motor wears out, becomes obstructed, or stops operating, cold air may not circulate properly. This can cause uneven temperatures, reduced cooling performance, and excessive frost accumulation.

Choosing a replacement with the correct voltage, shaft dimensions, electrical connections, and operating specifications is essential for reliable operation. The SM10141 is designed for compatible applications requiring these specifications.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Evaporator Fan Motor

A failing evaporator fan motor may cause the following symptoms:

• Refrigerator compartment is too warm.

• Freezer compartment is too warm.

• Refrigerator or freezer temperatures are inconsistent.

• Unusual humming, rattling, or fan noise.

• Frost buildup around the evaporator area.

• Cooling performance decreases despite the compressor operating.

These symptoms can also result from other refrigerator components or airflow obstructions. Inspect the fan and confirm the source of the problem before ordering a replacement.

Will Replacing SM10141 Fix My Refrigerator?

Replacing the SM10141 can resolve cooling and airflow problems when the original evaporator fan motor is defective. If the motor is not running, is making excessive noise, or cannot circulate air properly, a compatible replacement may restore normal airflow.

However, similar symptoms can be caused by a faulty defrost system, obstructed air passages, temperature-control issues, or other component failures. Proper diagnosis is recommended before replacing the motor.
