This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component is typically located at either the rear or base of the appliance, adjacent to the condenser coils. It primarily functions to move air around, aiding in heat dissipation and ensuring the refrigerator maintains optimal internal temperatures while preventing the condenser unit from overheating.

Issues It Resolves:
Replacing the fan blade may become necessary if you encounter problems like increased noise originating from the rear or bottom of your refrigerator, or if there is visible damage to the blade, including cracks, wear, or bending. This fan blade is specifically engineered to rectify these issues, helping restore the appliance to its standard noise levels and operational efficiency.
