W11033168 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor with Wire Harness
W11033168 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor with Wire Harness
The W11033168 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor with Wire Harness is an original Whirlpool replacement component designed for compatible refrigerators. This assembly includes the evaporator fan motor, thermistor, and wire harness to support proper air circulation and temperature regulation inside the refrigerator.
The evaporator fan helps move cold air across the evaporator coils and circulate it through the refrigerator and freezer compartments. A faulty fan motor can contribute to uneven cooling, warm refrigerator temperatures, and unusual noises from the freezer area. Replacing a failed motor with the correct genuine OEM component can help restore proper cooling performance.
Available through Appliance Kingdom, a Canadian appliance parts supplier based in Edmonton, Alberta, this part serves homeowners, landlords, property managers, and professional appliance repair technicians across Canada. Canada-wide shipping is available.
Function & Importance of the Evaporator Fan Motor
The evaporator fan motor circulates cold air generated by the refrigerator's evaporator system. It helps distribute cooled air throughout the appliance, supporting consistent temperatures and effective food preservation.
The W11033168 assembly includes a wire harness and thermistor. Using the correct replacement assembly is important for proper electrical connections, compatibility with the refrigerator's control system, and reliable operation.
When the evaporator fan motor fails, airflow can become restricted or stop entirely. Even if the refrigerator's cooling system is operating, insufficient airflow can cause temperature inconsistencies between compartments.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Evaporator Fan Motor
A failing W11033168 evaporator fan motor assembly may be associated with the following symptoms:
-
Refrigerator compartment is too warm.
-
Freezer and refrigerator temperatures are inconsistent.
-
Food is not staying as cold as expected.
-
Unusual buzzing, rattling, or other noises come from the freezer area.
-
Air circulation inside the refrigerator is weak or absent.
-
The refrigerator runs but does not cool the compartments effectively.
These symptoms can also result from other components, including the defrost system, temperature sensors, evaporator coils, or electronic controls.
Will replacing W11033168 fix my refrigerator?
Replacing this assembly can resolve cooling and airflow problems when diagnosis confirms that the evaporator fan motor or its associated components are faulty. If another component is responsible, replacing the fan motor alone may not solve the problem.
