Sam, thank you for as far as you went in this video, it was very helpful, however, I purchased just the motor not the assembly. It was a bit awkward figuring how to disassemble it so I could snap in the motor. I have a thumbs up because you did point out a couple of things I didn’t think to do. The motor was $22. Thumbs up!
This was a uniquely helpful video because I have a frigidaire model lFTR2032TFO with a failure to refrigerate problem (freezer works fine though) and my evaporator fan does not turn, so this video helps me prep for that job. Seeing the clips and wiring helps. I have seen it in person but I did not pay attention to the layout when I opened mines up. Have blessed 2021.
Thank you very much you saved the day for us. The only thing that I have problems understanding was a little bit about how to get the motor off you know you have to twist that thing on top which didn't make a lot of instant visually sense. Thank you very much you saved us a lot of money today.
I replaced the fan and thermostat control for fridge but the fan is not spinning. It worked when I first installed it but it hasn't worked to push the cold air into fridge. The Freezer is working so dont know what the cause is.
Hello, I see that in your video, the fan has 3 wires. The fan that Amazon sells has only 2 wires (black and red, no green wire). I believe the green wire is for ground. If I replace the fan with the one that Amazon sells, it should work? Please let me know. Thank you
Hi. My fridge is warm too top and bottom, but unlike this video, my evaporator fan is blowing up top, so would it be the freezer coils? There is also no cracking sound as it is in this video. I took the back panel off and the coils were not cool or moist. May I please ask your input on this matter?
My problem is the evaporator fan connector is damaged. The connectors don't want to go into each other tightly. Do you have any idea how to fix it? The problem is not the fan but rather the connectors.
just moved into this placed. and i have the same problem. same brand of fridge and it just stopped working wasted most of my food. i hope i can try and fix it
My Frigidaire is not cooling and I hear water dripping in the back of the refrigerator but don't see any leakage. It is a brand new refrigerator what cause the cooling in the refrigerator to stop working?
Most likely the defrost mechanism is not working, ice build up, finally ice prevented fan blade from rotating, motor coil burned. (motor armature is permanent magnet). Therefore, you must check these components: timer (behind light bulb), heater, and thermostat.
Great video. My Freezer's fan stopped working, but upon touching it, it restarted. I am changing the fan, assuming that the fan has a dead spot, but I am worried that something else is the problem. Any advice?
I bought a used frigidaire from someone for 190 bucks the other day. Was the last of my money and pisses me off being low income. Anyways the fan motor feels like its blowing good as I can feel the air. There is no frost on it as its only been plugged in for like a week. However the fridge only cooled for like 3 days and then has quit getting cool. So its something to do with the defrost system?
Unfortunately Frigidaire has figured out if they keep changing model parts etc it would be beneficial for them in regards to making profits. Literally I have had 2 fridges same model 6 months apart with different fans. 🙄 literally the same exact fridge! I would suggest calling your local appliance parts in your area. Give them the model # and they will tell you if they have part in stock or if they need to order it. Hope that helps my friend! 😀
What if the fan rotates but then turns off. I’m getting 120v in the plug but once it’s connected It’s intermittent with only 3v for like a second at a time.

What I mean is that there is a defrost timer in the control panel in the upper part of the lower (fresh) section of the fridge. As I understand it, the defrost timer periodically turns off the compressor and allows for a short thaw cycle. When in the defrost mode - does the evap fan turn off?
Everything starts in the freezer. The fridge gets cold because the air pushes down through the chute by the evaporative coil. So if nothing is cold you want to check... is the compressor in the back of the fridge running? Are the coils getting cold behind the freezer panel? Is the fan blowing? Some Frigidaire models have a board... at that point you would have to troubleshoot the board. If your applaince is new under 1 year... it should be covered under the warranty. Hope that helps.
Model # FFHT1831QM1? fridge 13 c 56 degrees approx -15c (freezer) approx 2 degrees checked the temperature the freezer fan was real loud for a few days so we unplugged for a few minutes now no noise at all, and fridge temp is going up. what would the cost be just to have them look at it? at least 150?
Sam, do you have a zelle account? I can send you $5 for this video. I have this same exact model Frigidaire and I successfully replaced the evaporator fan motor. This video aided me with being familiar with the getting assess to the motor. My only exploring was in getting the motor housingto release the motor. That was not in the video. Mines rotated 90 degrees to release after pressing to plastic clips.
There were a lot of steps skipped in this video. Like... how do you remove the old motor from the housing and install the new one? Nevermind... it was just one step. Carry on. I'm an idiot.
Greetings How do I fix my Frigidaire ice maker which sends ice flying out of the ice maker mold and then outside the bucket instead of inside? May the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ bless you. Thank you.
Obviously Panasonic is manufacturing failure prone evaporator fans. Built in obsolescence keeps the money flowing. The LFTR2032 is a pile of garbage. Frigidaire has lost my business for life.

I ordered a new fan motor for about 70 bucks and it took a week to arrive but once it did, I followed this video and it worked! Thanks for this!
Just installed a replacement from Amazon. It cost me $28.00 including tax. The motor is identical. Get your order in cuz Jeff needs the money!
Sam, I liked the way you explain a problem and how to fix it without being scared of the task

Thanks Sam I just made 50 bucks repairing the same exact refrigerator but the fan wasn't bad it was clogged with Ice awesome thanks bro
how did you fix it? Thaw it out?
We have the same frig with the same problem. Excellent video! Saved me money. Thanks.
Everyone who has had this refrigerator has had this problem, or will have it. Guaranteed!

This is EXCELLENT! I am replacing my fan, just like you show!! Thanks so much!!
Thanks man! Thanks to you i was able to repair my freezer!
Great video, you helped me figure my issue out. Thank you!
Sign into like the video and comment. This was very helpful.

Happened to my 3 year old Hotpoint. They make things like garbage these days & my dad has a 65 year old unit that has yet to stop working!

I had to replace the fan in the freezer which works great now but now the refrigerator side isn't working Any ideas
great video by the way

If behind the fridge a red light is blinking and on top the fridge is freezing up and down below not working

Now i have started to understand about fridge.
My Frigidaire is not cooling and I hear water dripping in the back of the refrigerator but don't see any leakage. It is a brand new refrigerator what cause the cooling in the refrigerator to stop working?
Thank you, very informative. This refrigerator model sucks.
Most likely the defrost mechanism is not working, ice build up, finally ice prevented fan blade from rotating, motor coil burned. (motor armature is permanent magnet). Therefore, you must check these components: timer (behind light bulb), heater, and thermostat.
At 4:44 how do you disconnect it? Just pull it?
I tried pulling but it's "stuck" and don't want to break it
Thanks for any info
If there wasn't 110-volts at the fan wires, would it be safe to assume that the defrost thermostat is defective?
Great video. My Freezer's fan stopped working, but upon touching it, it restarted. I am changing the fan, assuming that the fan has a dead spot, but I am worried that something else is the problem. Any advice?
Order a new fan, and keep it handy for the original's eventual failure.
I bought a used frigidaire from someone for 190 bucks the other day. Was the last of my money and pisses me off being low income.

However the fridge only cooled for like 3 days and then has quit getting cool. So its something to do with the defrost system?
my fan works, can hear the motor (compressor) on, but the coils are rusted, and looks like freon leak? Is this worth fixing
What if I dont hear the compressor on at all and the evaporator fan doesn’t turn on at all
Great video. Do you have a link to the replacement part?
Unfortunately Frigidaire has figured out if they keep changing model parts etc it would be beneficial for them in regards to making profits. Literally I have had 2 fridges same model 6 months apart with different fans. 🙄 literally the same exact fridge! I would suggest calling your local appliance parts in your area.

Do you know how to enter the diagnostic test mode on this unit? My fan is working, and the compressor comes on but it's very quiet.
Great job thank you.
What if the fan rotates but then turns off. I’m getting 120v in the plug but once it’s connected It’s intermittent with only 3v for like a second at a time.
what was the problem in the end or solution?
My friend has a Frigidaire refrigerator and both fans turn on but like 5mins later there is a click freezer and fridge are not getting cold at all.
Where do you recommend getting the fan motor?
Amazon has the very best price.

Do you know - does the evaporator fan turn off when the fridge is in defrost mode?
What I mean is that there is a defrost timer in the control panel in the upper part of the lower (fresh) section of the fridge. As I understand it, the defrost timer periodically turns off the compressor and allows for a short thaw cycle. When in the defrost mode - does the evap fan turn off?
Yes the fan turns off to allow the heat element to cycle through and heat up the coil to remove frost build up. Hope this answers your question.
What if the freezer and fridge part both aren’t cooling?
Everything starts in the freezer. The fridge gets cold because the air pushes down through the chute by the evaporative coil. So if nothing is cold you want to check... is the compressor in the back of the fridge running? Are the coils getting cold behind the freezer panel? Is the fan blowing? Some Frigidaire models have a board... at that point you would have to troubleshoot the board. If your applaince is new under 1 year... it should be covered under the warranty. Hope that helps.
My fan just went out. Hopefully I can find a new one.
help Evaporator Fan runs when i first plug in the refrigerator for about 10 sec then turns off?
What was the solution?
Thank you
I have one like this, it's black. The freezer is cold, but not freezing water.
Same problem, can't seem to find a video addressing this. Freezer is cold but will not freeze water..
Model # FFHT1831QM1? fridge 13 c 56 degrees approx -15c (freezer) approx 2 degrees checked the temperature the freezer fan was real loud for a few days so we unplugged for a few minutes now no noise at all, and fridge temp is going up. what would the cost be just to have them look at it? at least 150?
I have same fridge bottom fridge is freezing
Sam, do you have a zelle account? I can send you $5 for this video. I have this same exact model Frigidaire and I successfully replaced the evaporator fan motor. This video aided me with being familiar with the getting assess to the motor. My only exploring was in getting the motor housingto release the motor. That was not in the video. Mines rotated 90 degrees to release after pressing to plastic clips.
Mine keeps freezing up and not blowing air into the fridge. Fan and compressor work fine. But it wont blow cold air into the fridge why is that???
Hi, did you ever find out what was wrong with it? Mine is doing the samething. And its only 2 years old.
Is the condenser fan running as well as the fan in the freezer? Condenser coils free of dust and debris?
Fan runs and stops then runs and stops
Looks just like mine
There were a lot of steps skipped in this video. Like... how do you remove the old motor from the housing and install the new one? Nevermind... it was just one step. Carry on. I'm an idiot.
Mine didn’t turn on
Greetings
