Whirlpool Fan Grommet WP2176759 OEM Part

Refrigerator Door Grommet

This component can be purchased separately; however, typically, two units are needed for a complete replacement. It is recommended when a refrigerator generates more noise than normal.

The Evaporator Fan Motor Grommet, crafted by Whirlpool as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, optimally mounts the evaporator fan motor. Its primary function is to reduce vibrations, facilitating quiet and efficient motor performance.

Part compatibility extends across several brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces parts that fit Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances.

Possible causes for the grommet’s failure may involve routine deterioration, excessive vibration or impact damage, or temperature-related wear.

Signs of a problematic evaporator fan motor grommet entail:
- Audible noise or rattling from the refrigerator
- Declined cooling performance or erratic internal temperatures
- Fan motor misalignment or unsteadiness

This OEM component is also suitable for use in Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
