WPW10439624 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
WPW10439624 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WPW10439624 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor is an original Whirlpool replacement part designed to circulate cold air through compatible refrigerator compartments. This genuine OEM motor helps maintain consistent cooling by moving air across the evaporator coils and distributing it throughout the refrigerator and freezer.
Available through Appliance Kingdom, a Canadian appliance parts supplier based in Edmonton, Alberta, this replacement motor serves homeowners, landlords, property managers, and professional appliance repair technicians across Canada. Canada-wide shipping makes it easier to source genuine Whirlpool refrigerator parts when the original evaporator fan motor fails.
If your refrigerator has uneven cooling, excessive operating noise, or a freezer that is cold while the refrigerator compartment remains warm, a faulty evaporator fan motor may be responsible. Replacing the motor can restore proper airflow when diagnosis confirms that the motor is defective.
Function & Importance of the Evaporator Fan Motor
The evaporator fan motor drives the fan that moves air across the refrigerator's evaporator coils. This airflow distributes cold air throughout the appliance, helping the refrigerator and freezer maintain their intended temperatures.
When the motor stops working, runs intermittently, or becomes noisy, airflow can be reduced or interrupted. This may cause uneven temperatures, poor cooling, frost accumulation, and additional strain on the refrigerator's cooling system.
Choosing the correct genuine OEM motor is important because the motor's electrical specifications, mounting arrangement, and physical design must match the intended refrigerator application. Using the correct replacement helps support reliable operation and proper airflow.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
A failing evaporator fan motor may cause the following refrigerator problems:
-
Refrigerator compartment is too warm despite the freezer remaining cold.
-
Freezer compartment is not cooling properly.
-
Both refrigerator and freezer compartments are too warm.
-
Unusual humming, whining, buzzing, or grinding noises from the refrigerator.
-
Uneven temperatures between different areas of the refrigerator.
-
Frost or ice buildup associated with inadequate airflow.
-
Refrigerator runs for extended periods while struggling to maintain temperature.
These symptoms can be associated with a defective evaporator fan motor, but other components can produce similar problems.
Will Replacing WPW10439624 Fix My Refrigerator?
Replacing WPW10439624 can resolve cooling and airflow problems if the evaporator fan motor is the confirmed cause.
For example, if the freezer is cold but the refrigerator compartment is warm because the evaporator fan is not circulating air correctly, replacing a defective motor may restore proper cooling.
However, similar symptoms can result from obstructed fan blades, a defrost-system problem, a faulty temperature sensor, or another cooling-system component. Proper diagnosis is recommended before ordering the replacement.

Replacing an evaporator fan motor is generally a moderate appliance repair. Experienced DIYers may be able to complete the replacement with the appropriate tools and model-specific service instructions.
Installation typically involves disconnecting power, accessing the fan assembly, removing the defective motor, transferring any required components as specified by the manufacturer, and installing the replacement correctly.
