Evaporator Fan Motor WP3-60336-001 OEM Part

The evaporator fan motor, located at the back of your refrigerator or freezer, is integral to air circulation over the cooling coils. It addresses issues such as excessive noise and insufficient cooling within the appliance.

This motor fits several Whirlpool brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. It also functions as an OEM replacement for specific Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. Its design ensures effective distribution of cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer sections, maintaining optimal temperatures and supporting food preservation.

Continuously running, the motor draws warm air through refrigerant-cooled coils, reducing internal temperatures to keep the appliance environment consistently cold.

Typical causes of evaporator motor failure include worn bearings or burned-out windings, often due to advanced age. Poor lubrication can also expedite motor failure in refrigeration appliances.

Indicators that the motor may be failing include:

- Inconsistent or inadequate cooling in both fridge and freezer areas
- Audible buzzing or grinding noises from the cooling mechanism
- Irregular frost buildup or unexpected thawing

This replacement motor is also suitable for select models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore, making it a versatile component for a wide array of refrigeration units.
