What Does the W11249952 Evaporator Fan Motor Do?

The evaporator fan motor moves air across the evaporator coils and circulates cooled air through the refrigerator's compartments. This airflow is essential for maintaining suitable food-storage temperatures and helping the refrigerator cool efficiently.

The W11249952 assembly includes the motor and associated components, including a thermistor, defrost thermostat and wire harness. These components support the refrigerator's temperature monitoring and defrost-related operation.

A failed or obstructed fan motor can reduce airflow, resulting in uneven cooling, warmer refrigerator or freezer compartments, unusual noises or frost accumulation. Using the correct genuine OEM assembly helps ensure that the motor, electrical connections and included components match the appliance's design.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor

A failing W11249952 assembly may be associated with the following symptoms:

• Refrigerator compartment is too warm while the freezer remains cold.

• Refrigerator or freezer is not cooling properly.

• Uneven temperatures between compartments.

• Grinding, rattling or other unusual fan noises.

• Frost or ice buildup that interferes with fan operation or airflow.

• Refrigerator runs excessively while struggling to maintain temperature.

• Cooling performance becomes inconsistent.

These symptoms can indicate an evaporator fan motor problem, but other components can produce similar issues. A proper diagnosis is recommended before replacing the assembly.

Will Replacing W11249952 Fix My Refrigerator?

Replacing the W11249952 assembly can restore proper airflow and cooling when the evaporator fan motor or an associated component in the assembly is defective.

For example, a motor that has stopped running, makes excessive noise or cannot circulate air properly may need replacement. However, cooling problems can also result from a faulty defrost system, temperature sensor, control board or another refrigeration component.

Before ordering, confirm that the fan motor assembly is the source of the problem and that W11249952 is specified for your refrigerator model.
