WP1100938 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Blade

The WP1100938 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Blade is an original Whirlpool replacement part designed for compatible refrigerators and freezers. This fan blade attaches to the evaporator fan motor and helps circulate cold air throughout the appliance, supporting consistent cooling performance. It is a genuine OEM component manufactured for Whirlpool and selected compatible appliance brands, including Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Roper.

Available through Appliance Kingdom, a Canadian appliance parts supplier based in Edmonton, Alberta, this replacement part serves homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance technicians across Canada. Canada-wide shipping helps customers source the correct replacement when a damaged or obstructed evaporator fan blade causes excessive noise or airflow problems.

Function & Importance of the Evaporator Fan Blade

The evaporator fan blade is attached to the fan motor inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment. As the motor rotates the blade, it circulates cold air through the appliance to help maintain appropriate temperatures.

A damaged, bent, loose, or obstructed fan blade can interfere with airflow and produce unusual operating noise. Using the correct OEM replacement helps maintain the intended fit, rotation, and airflow characteristics of the refrigerator's cooling system.

Replacing a damaged blade can restore proper fan operation when the blade itself is responsible for the problem. However, a defective fan motor or another cooling-system fault may require separate diagnosis.

Common Symptoms of a Damaged Evaporator Fan Blade

A faulty or obstructed evaporator fan blade may contribute to the following refrigerator or freezer problems:

• Unusual buzzing, rattling, scraping, or clicking noises near the evaporator fan.

• Excessive noise while the refrigerator or freezer is operating.

• Reduced airflow through the refrigerator or freezer compartment.

• Uneven cooling or temperature fluctuations when airflow is restricted.

• Fan blade wobbling, visible damage, or contact with surrounding components.

RepairClinic identifies excessive refrigerator or freezer noise as a common problem associated with this part. 

Will Replacing WP1100938 Fix My Refrigerator?

Replacing the fan blade can resolve the problem if the original blade is damaged, obstructed, or rubbing against nearby components. If the fan motor has failed, the noise comes from another component, or the appliance has a separate cooling problem, replacing the blade alone may not resolve the issue.

Inspect the fan blade and check the motor's operation before ordering a replacement. Disconnect the appliance from electrical power before inspecting or servicing internal components.
