My airways were blocked by ice but we realized it was becuz the fan wasn't working. Spent 21 dollars on Amazon and used this video and saved us hundreds. Ty
You are so informative! My coild were frozen completely! I defrosted the whole fridge, plugged it back in and noticed the fan was not turning. You saved me tons of money. Thank you!
You’re video gets right to the point! Thank you so much you saved me a $125 trouble call plus labor
I ended up needing a different motor for my fridge model but the steps you laid out were essentially the same. I couldn't have fixed my fridge without your video. SUPER helpful! Thank you!! My fridge is working perfectly again!
THANK YOU!!! I’ve literally been researching for a week! And your video was exactly what I’ve been experiencing!
Thanks alot had my fridge put n storage for almost a year fan was turning but slow then stop put some dw40 now works like a champ
Thank you! The world needs more people like you. Your video was great. Easy to follow. Took me literally 10 minutes, And the fridge is working again. Much appreciated.
Feedback like yours keeps me going. Thank you.
Huge thank you for this video! You saved us from having to purchase a new fridge for something so simple.
Hey thanks J J , I removed the motor and found out a new one was$131,00 so I decided to take the motor apart and cleaned the contact's of the motor winding and it is working great, I USED SAND PAPER.
JJ Thank you so much for this video.
I have the same model and it was only cold on top. I had ordered a new fridge from Lowes just before I watched this video, Needless to say I canceled it and ordered the part from amazon. It came the next day and it took me 20 minutes to fix. You saved my family $1,000 that we couldn't afford. Again Thank You
Glad to hear it was useful and saved you 🤑. Now you owe my channel a subscription 😆
You saved me a service call…thanks so much!!
I’ve had a very productive conversation with this creator that I can reference for other issues.
What I notice with my fridge and I hope it helps someone:
If the fan works,
The freezer works
Then lower the temperature of your fridge.
The ice build up might have blocked the return vent. You will have to remove the panel and see for yourself. It’s right under the “radiator fins. If ice is blocking it then their is your problem! 😊First thaw out all the ice, let it melt. If you remove the light dome fixture you can set a small jug inside to catch the water as it will be a lot. There is a knob inside the bottom part of the fridge. If you are building too much ice inside your freezer DO NOT set it on the “recommended” setting. Set it half way or 1/4” of an inch before the recommended side. Get closer to the recommended as needed. You might have to monitor your temperature so your food doesn’t go bad.
Also, the knob that’s inside the freezer actually controls how much air flows to the bottom. It’s not a electrical setting. It just opens the vent wider. If you leave it to the coldest setting most of the cold air will stay in the freezer. I set it the the lowest that way the cold air can also go to the bottom of the fridge.
This is by far the best TH-cam “how to” video I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much!!
😊 the point of my video is for anyone to be able to diy. Thanks for the appreciation.
My fan still worked but the passage was blocked with ice. Your video saved my bacon!
I had the same problem with ice blocking the track. Thanks so much JJ.
So you just removed the ice and it was fine
@@MrTD714 My auto defroster stopped working so I have to manually defrost the freezer by unplugging, removing the back freezer panel, then blow air over the coils with a small fan until the ice build up melts away. It takes 1 hour in the summer, maybe 2 hours in spring or fall (the freezer never clogs up over the winter). I do this whenever the refrigerator climbs above 40 degrees (that means the ice clog is back). One of these days I will try to replace the heater element.
I’ve been clearing the ice and it’s still not cooling the fan is blowing but the fridge is still warm
Pull that panel and clear the ice in the chill panel. You need to do a full defrost.
My fridge is about 99.8% identical. I planned to swap out the fan motor anyhow, because of the racket it made, but your video really helped with demonstrating the various clips and disassembly techniques. I would have NEVER guessed some of those procedures. Thanks!
I am glad it was useful
Although my fridge didnt have the same problem, you did help me figure it out! The freezer was so frozen it froze something going to the fridge. I just opened the freezer let it thaw out and it started working again. true story lol THANK YOU!!!!!
That's great, remember if it happens again, it means your automatic defrost circuit is not working. You may have to change the thermostat or the defrost timer circuit. If it doesn't happen again in 1 month, you fixed it.
Thank you for this video. We just ordered the part and have total faith that we can fix it with your great instructions.
@@janetdineen5307 way to go, that's the DIY spirit. Come back and report if it solves your issue.
I am going to try this on Saturday my day off and see if I can get it working thank you so much a
Thank you so much. Writing from Jamaica 🇯🇲 and found your video after calling a few repair men gave a huge assessment cost. My husband and I followed ur instructions on our Blackpoint refrigerator and found that the ice build up prevented the fan from spinning. Defrosted, fan started spinning and solved the problem. MANY THANKS TO YOU
Blow wow! Congrats on the DIY!
@@JJCentral-DIY 😂 at blow wow 🇯🇲 couldn't do it without this video 👏
@@kimonafarquharson just fyi, there is a reason the ice built up, either the defrost thermostat is not working or the fan is not spinning some time. Either way keep an eye for the ice built up. If it doesn't, you are good.
@@JJCentral-DIY Noted. Wow. Thank you for that! Blessings to you
I almost gave up on our fridge. Same situation freezer was good, bottom was not cooling. You saved me so much time and money. Your video helped me fix it. The motor on ours was just stuck, it was turned off for a year. Our old refrigerator works again. Thank you so much for posting this video!
Glad I could help
How do you know it was “stuck”?
@@jennyp.farias8442 if his was anything like mine the motor wouldn't spin freely, lots of resistance. I bought mine from a thrift store so it may have sat for a while too. I just kept turning the motor back and forth until eventually it loosened up. Plugged it back in and it started working
My fan is out and you basically save me 800, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thank You! My freezer was fine, but the fridge wasn’t cold damper channel was blocked and fan motor was out, 3 months after warranty ran out. It had a rattle when the freezer fan came on since the day we bought it, and that was the main give away that the fan motor had stopped working and the fridge was too warm. I ordered the fan off amazon for about $20, took 4 days to get here, and about an hour to replace, cleaned the freezer and removed the ice dam from the channel and while the fridge was pulled out I vacuumed the vents on the back and took some canned air and blew off the condenser coils and fan at the bottom of the fridge. Cold air is blowing from all the right places and it’s humming away! THANK YOU!😊 Your video saved me almost the cost of a whole new fridge since I live out in the boonies and they gouge the crap out of us for service calls and parts. Truly appreciated. Gonna give it a little bit to cool down and make sure it’s doing what it should. But so far so good!
What a great testimony. Thank you for sharing your experience. Feedback like this keeps me going with making more DIY videos. Everything you did is exactly what a pro would do. Congrats on your successful repair.
@@JJCentral-DIY Thank you, I grew up in a "if it’s broke, fix it" family. And my fridge is indeed cold and stuff in the freezer is frozen! So, it all worked. Thanks again for the repair walk-through and list of compatible parts!
Dude thank you for making this video! My Frigidaire is an exact match and I bought your recommended replacement motor. Followed your clear, concise steps and Shazaam! chilly freezer air is now blowing into my fridge! Saved my fridge and my groceries. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful.
thank you for the video. you saved me some money. I took my fridge a part and thought that was the Defrost Timer issue, but when I watched your video I looked at the fan it was not spinning and the cold air didn't passing through to the cooler. i bought the Blower Motor and it is working fine the cooler is cold. thanks again.
Excellent, I am glad it worked out.
As was the case with many others in the comments, the fan was working fine and I just needed to defrost and clear the ice build up that was blocking the channel.
I would have had no clue where to begin if not for this video, and thought for sure I was going to have to purchase a new fridge.
Thanks JJ!
Thank you so much for the support. In your case if the fan is working, your defrost thermostat may be the faulty part. You can of course manually defrost once every month and keep going. It's not just the passage but around the cooling fins as well needs defrost. Thanks.
Thank you! Love your video. Excellent explained, step by step.
Glad it was helpful.
Thanks man, this saved me alot of money and it was super easy
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This video is exactly what I needed to fix our two year old fridge! I actually called to have someone look at it before finding your video, and they tried to upsell me on a bunch of warranty cost for other things that I didn’t need. I actually ended up hanging up on them. Your instructions were so clear and easy to follow, I had the fridge fixed in about 15 minutes once the $22 part came from Amazon overnight. You are awesome!😎 Thanks again!😁
Oh, forgot to mention that mine was also completely blocked with ice 🧊 😅
I can feel the excitement and accomplishment in your comment. Excellent work. Nothing like doing it yourself. Congrats and thank you for the super thanks.
@@JJCentral-DIY You are very welcome, and you are a life saver!!!😅
@@CabinSquirrel started watching your channel too. Very therapeutic.
@@JJCentral-DIY That's awesome, thank you so much! I really appreciate you! I also subscribed to your channel and will check out some more of your videos, I love to figure out how to fix things around the cabin rather than pay excessive amounts of money to someone else to do it1. It's so fulfilling and cost effective!😁❤🦌
THANK YOU!! This video saved me hundreds of dollars! The only thing that confused me, other than learning how to use a drill for the screws in the tight space holding on the ice maker 😂, was the model number. I ordered mine next day from Amazon, as it seemed no one locally had one, which was also $100 less than the manufacturer, and my model number ended in 06, not 04, but everything I found pointed to 04 being the part, so I bought it. Well, now I know why some things seemed less than perfect taking off the ice maker. Someone already replaced this part! And the model number and the new unit are identical to the one I replaced. So, who knows how many years I’ll get out of it, but I’ll at least know what I’m doing in a couple years when it goes out again! And that’s still worth the $100 savings on the part alone! Not to mention a service call and days without a fridge, albeit secondary! First world issues!
The best part is, now you know your fridge. There are only a few parts in a fridge apart from a compressor. You can keep it running for ever as long as the compressor kicks in.
Excellent production!
Thanks! Saved me hundreds and this was just the info I needed to repair my fridge!
I am glad it was helpful and saved you unnecessary expense. Thank you for the super thanks, over 5 million total views on my DIY helpful videos and you are the first one to ever super thank back. Appreciate that.
good video thanks
Good job
Thank you for sharing!
Great video!
Very helpful thank you! We Saved some money
Cool. Glad it worked.
Nicely done
Thank you so much for this video
Thanks!
Thanks for your Video
Thank you for the video. The motor costs $160 from the local supplier. I ordered 2 from Amazon at $29 each.
I'll wait for 4 days to get the parts. The outdoor temperature here is below 0 C. We use our garage as a big fridge and keep frozen food in the freezer in the basement.
Thank you for share this important information was really helpful to me
Great thank you thumbs up
Thanks 🌹
Thank you for your video Sir. Do you have any idea why do those little plastic fans break just like that?
My only complaint about this video is that nothing comes off as easily as is shown the first time and some of the clips and parts are more fragile than they look (especially when still frozen). But thank you for helping fix my fridge.
Notes: This video was on how to replace the evaporator fan motor. Note the two metal oval shaped rings he turned one quarter clockwise to be able to get the evaporator fan motor off. The fan blade itself actually just came right off by pulling outwards with just his fingers. There was also a plastic piece that he had to turn one quarter counterclockwise to get the fan motor off. A little experimentation should be all it takes to figure it out and a little luck not to break any thing for this model of refrigerator.
I luv you brother I mean it Thanks for the clear and concise directions and most of all for saving me money honey. I have that exact refrigerator but I have to remove the ice maker 1st, do you have a video on how I remove it?
Ice maker is mounted with 3 screws. First remove the bottom screw/L bracket on the left wall. Then the ice maker will drop an inch to expose two screws on the top against the wall. Here is a video that shows the reverse mounting.
th-cam.com/video/oHnpUcuMWG4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for the super thanks. You didn't have to. I hope you were able to remove the ice maker and fix it once in for all. Nothing better than accomplishing by DIY. Thanks.
Do you have a video on how to remove ice maker from this freezer? Thank you!1
Nice video, what could cause the fan not to spin fast enough ? Having a similar problem
Ice formation in those areas, bad coil, bad bearing, low voltage etc could cause slow spin. Change the fan to see if it makes a difference.
Have the identical refrigerator as of today, I am going to order the part and see if that was my age will follow through later 🤞🏽
Good luck, come back and update.
Ty.. so much update;
Order the part. Came the next day .. thanks Amazon,
Replace the fan just like in your video and that was the issue thank you very much for posting this and thank you for saving me from buying a new refrigerator thanks again $28 fix with about 25 minutes worth of work
Hello my problem is the bottom fridge is freezing every food , it’s the same temperature in top and bottom , how can I do ?
Any ideas why else it is not blowing enough air. I just bought a brand new GE refrigerator and got food poisoning because my refrigerator isn’t cold enough because of air flow.
Tech found a piece of foam blocking the vent and replaced the fan for good measure. HOWEVER, the air flow is still not enough to cool the refrigerator appropriately. When I open the fridge door I feel no coolness like in my previous models. I have it set at the highest setting.
I bought a refrigerator thermostat and it shows it is not cold enough for safety.
Tech cane again. Stuck his hand in the fridge and said it’s cold enough. 🤨
Need to do this cuz my landlord sucks n taking to long to get someone to fix
I have a question I repair my freezers thermostat sensor and the heating element does turn on and I also replace the defrost timer but it still keeps icing over do you think that I have a short somewhere in the temperature control knob this all started when the lightbulb socket went out
There are 5 possibilities, door seal to start with, thermostat, sensor, fan and heating element. You are on the right track.
Thanks for the video!!! I would like to ask you, my freezer is cold and things gets frozen, but not as it should be. and my fridge totally warm, is it the same problem?
Yes, either fan or defrost thermostat doesn't work
@@JJCentral-DIY if its the fan, why isn't my freezer 100% good? and how do I figure out which one is the problem?
@@herschelschreiber because the coil fins are blocked by ice and air can't travel between them. So less freezer cooling
Your Frigidaire has the exact same back panel that is in my freezer! I am ordering the part assuming it's identical. I knew I needed to make sure it wasn't ice blocking the vent tubes, so I made sure to leave the refrigerator off for 24 hours and also use a air jet to clean off the compressor and coils. I'm expecting a great outcome! Now to fix the ice maker not filling with water. Maybe the solenoid or maybe the switch in the ice maker. Do you have a video for ice maker trouble shooting?
@@davidsheppard9896 Thank you for the super thanks. I appreciate that. Regarding your ice maker not filling with water, first make sure your fridge is indeed getting water. Then it could be either the solenoid that is clogged or gone bad, or the micro switches that signal the solenoid to turn on. While at it you may want to the change the filter as well. Take solenoid out and check for continuity with a multi meter.
@JJCentral-DIY thanks, After cleaning and thawing the refrigerator I started it up and all is working correctly.But I did purchase a fan motor just in case it's having intermittent issuesAfter cleaning and thawing the refrigerator I started it up and all is working correctly. But I did purchase a fan motor just in case it's having intermittent issues.
@@davidsheppard9896 I think what you have is a faulty defrost thermostat. That's why the ice builds up and reduces flow to the fridge. By turning off you manually did the thermostats job and it is working well now. If it freezes again, then you change the thermostat. Or you turn off your fridge every month for 24 hours.
I have the same issue but with a 3.2 CU.F mini-fridge with a separate freezer and refrigerator section (2-door model). There is no removable back panel inside the freezer (or the refrigerator portion either), it's all one continuous molded piece of plastic and so there also is no "air-channel" going from the freezer to the lower refrigerator section and no fan. The top freezer section gets VERY cold (-20 F or colder) and bottom refrgerator section is between 57 F to 65 F. No apparent removable panel in the outside back of the unit either other than the bottom rear open portion where the compressor and tubing as it. So I'm stumped as to why the refrigerator section isn't getting cold.
Turn the fridge off and thaw all the ice first and see how it restarts back. See how the air flow works on that fridge and look for ice blockage.
@@JA-rn5qv I saw your video. Don't disregard the thermostat because a faulty thermostat will raise freezer temp due to the fact that the coolant circulation not triggered. This will cause uneven cooling based on the coil routing, more freezing towards the compressor and less away from the compressor. Since your fridge doesn't have a fan, faulty thermostat could be the reason. Also 0 deg F is the recommended freezer temp. Yours if showing -20F which means coolant is not flowing and distribution around the fridge.
@@JJCentral-DIY Yeah the thermostat is cheap enough to replace that I'm going to try that as a first (and possibly only) cheap fix and see how it goes.
The Beko I am dealing with has no air channel between the two what system is this split evaporator?
Bekos are very efficient and the fan could be in the bottom as well. Is it a bottom freezer model?
What tool are you using to take the screws out ?
Its a 1/4" drive
I have a Frigidaire Top Mount sort of like this one and the fridge doesn't get to cold, but the freezer does. I checked the evaporator fan and it does spin, although I don't believe it spins as the one in this video. Can a fan run slow? Or could it be something else? The compressor, defrost timer, and condenser fan all work. Any thoughts? Model FFTR1835VW0
Check for ice formation in the duct from freezer to fridge. Or is there any electronically controlled flap in that duct that is stuck?
What tool are you using to take the screws out
Screw driver.... Do you have special screw head in yours?
My fridge looks a lot like this one. My fan is running, but it just doesn't seem to be blowing very hard down below - so maybe the fans not blowing hard enough. No ice blockage.
Open the chill panel and see if there is ice in the cooling fins.
Before the probe Len was freezer was freezing and fridge not cooling and now it’s both of them not cooling. Would this fix work?
No, it only works if your freezer is ice cold
good video, my kenmore looks quite a bit older, does that fan fit any model?
They go by diameter. If the size is right, you can make it fit
@@JJCentral-DIY thanks man so most of the time when that problem occurs its the fan? could be something else right? i'm brutal with this type stuff. like i said mine is atleast 15 years old
@@JJCentral-DIY this is good to know. I cannot find the correct motor for my kenmore 11171219611 but as long as I get a motor that is similar in diameter, I should be fine?
@@jennyp.farias8442 yes, first make sure there is no ice formation blocking the air passage into the fridge from the freezer.
What ifs forming ice in that little place where it blows the cold air through?
If the fan stops working, ice will form in the duct between freezer and fridge. Get rid of the ice, change the fan.
I have the same problem. But the fan is working fine. Do you think I should replace the Bimetal sensor? That's my guess. Could you please reply... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Before replacing bimetal sensor first try turning off your fridge and let it thaw all the ice buildup internally. Make sure no ice is blocking the air passage from freezer to fridge. Then run it measure the temperature of the freezer and then measure the temperature of the air coming into the fridge side when the fan is running.
Hey
just wanted to clarify , my fridge serial number is FFTR1814QW4A, I didnt see it on the list but the fridge you showed in the video is almost exactly the same , just wondering if the motor you have in the link would work for my fridge aswell ,
thanks
If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it probably is a duck. Get it online, worse case you can return it.
I have this same problem but the lights in both the freezer and refrigerator are also out. If I unplug the unit and plug it back in the lights come on for awhile but goes out abut 15 minutes later. What is your advice on that particular problem.
What you describe looks like a circuit is interrupted due to faulty circuit or switch. This would happen with reed switches a lot, try googling to see if your fridge has that and try changing the reed switch.
Thanks, reed switch seems to be part of the problem, when I remove it and plug it back into the unit the light came on for a while however it went off later. Also this switch is no longer available. The refrigerator/lower area is still warm.
my refrigerator is toshiba 2weeks ago the freezer was working but the fridge wasn't working and i fixed it by serching on internet but now it's oppisite can someone tell me why???
How do I check the fan if it is bad? I don’t want to just throw a random part in and not fix it but I do suspect the motor everything was clear and cleaned
Put your hands under the duct opening after the fridge is defrosted to see if you can feel air flow. If you can't feel it, then your fav is not blowing.
@@JJCentral-DIY thank you I will try it out, this is called the evaporator fan correct?
@@JJCentral-DIYthanks for the useful video and reply. Have a cold drink on me 😊
Hi JJ, I replaced the fan but the fan is still not turning on. Any ideas what it might be?
If you have a multimeter, check the voltage across the red and black wire and see if you get any voltage at all. If there is voltage, then your new fan is faulty. If no voltage, then tape the door switch close and measure again. If still no voltage your main circuit board or your thermister is faulty and need replacement.
@@JJCentral-DIY thanks for the detailed instructions JJ, I will try this. Thank you for your great videos.
I have a new refrigerator since I bought it, and it does not cool at all in the summer, and the freezer section is very light...in Saudi Arabia I bought a second one with the same problem, what is the solution?
Tnx
Could be too close to the wall, dirty condenser, blocked air vent, temperature control not set right. Could be anything.
Don't see the link to amazon part
Check the description
I have the same problem any way to check if the fan works without a voltage meter?
Connect a 9v and see if the fan turns
@@JJCentral-DIY its honestly just like theb
one you fixed so i ordered a fan from amazon ...i unplugged it and plugged it just doesnt come on at all ...thank you for the video
@@MARTPERE your best bet is to get a cheap multimeter for$5 and see if there is voltage on those wires and trace it back.
My freezer is cold, but won't freeze, the refrigerator side not cold at all. Please help
Surely check the fan isn't working prior to buying a new one;it could be a no power to fan situation.
Hi, the blower fan is working in the freezer. I can heard the blower fan is running. However,the fridge is not cooling. There is no cold air blowing down from the freezer. Should I still buy the replacement part to replace it? Please help
Is your freezer icy cold? If so did you check the fan air hole from the freezer to the fridge and made sure it is not blocked by ice.
@@JJCentral-DIY , thanks for your rapid response. I will check it out in this coming weekend. The freezer is cold and has extra frost in the freezer. I will open the panel and check any ice blocking. Thanks again
Hi, how are you? Just want to update with you about my fridge. I opened the inside panel of the blower fan. I was shock when I saw the blockage of ice. I removed the ice. Now, I felt the cold air blows in the refrigerator compartment. Thanks for your help. I appreciate your advice and help me to save a lot of money. Thanks again
@@yau3244 Excellent.. I am glad you fixed it all by yourself. True rewards of DIY. Now you owe me a subscription 😆
Sure. I just put a subscription. Thanks. Have a nice weekend to you and your family
I need the link for replacement parts anyone have a clue how much it would be

How to use the defrost button.?
The thermostat controls the defrost. It's automatic. Alternatively you can turn off the fridge for few hours to defrost.
What if my freezer is freezing fine and the fan is spinning and blowing air but the bottom is still not cold enough ? Freezer is at -6 degrees & bottom is at 38 degrees
Your coils have ice buildup due to defrost thermostat not functioning.
Repairman replaced fan and refrigerator is cooler but still not cooling in 38 degree range. It is running at 45- 46 degrees. Very frustrating.
How is the freezer temperature?
What about the fridge not using fan & the freezer ice & fridge not cooling ?
Every fridge has fan some where. If not on the top then bottom. The second possibility is the dentist thermostat fault.
@@JJCentral-DIY there are double Fridges standing fridge & freeze no,and fridge not cooling but the freezer block ice 🍦
My problem is the opposite of this video. I can’t find an answer to my problem. The top freezer is too cold( ice cream rock hard/ fridge is normal. I found the button to slide up and down in the freezer to adjust the coldness. It won’t move!! Is there a truck to this or something???
Looks like your defrost is either not working or stuck. Find different fridge for your food temporarily. Turn off the fridge, let the ice melt.
Ok but I don’t see any ice on the interior therefore how do I know when it’s defrosted? Sorry, I’m new to all this as I am now a widow.
You should have defosted everything in there before reinstallation
Thanks 🙏
the freezer is working the fan is working the refrigerator is not cooling. where do i go from here. please reply
Check if the duct from the freezer fan to the bottom refrigerator is free of ice and the actuators are not in closed position.
dead end is the fridge
I just replaced the fan, but still doesn’t work. Freezer fan works just fine. But cooling fan still doesn’t, even though its brand new.😢
Check your thermostat then. You also can use a multimeter to check voltage on the fan wiring.
@@JJCentral-DIYI will try that. Thanks for the advice.
I've had a guy over twice because my refrigerator wasn't getting cold. Ice was built up in freezer He unthawed the freezer with heat gun. Came back a week later. Doing the same thing, now freezer constantly running. He realized my fridge door gasket was bad. Turned off for 24 hrs. Seemed ok. But freezer fan is constantly running. Coils are clean. What else could it be
The defrost thermostat is probably faulty and needs replacement. Ask him to change that first.
My fan works, there is nothing blocking tha passage but the tan isn’t pushing any air towards the bottom 😤
Take the panel off and see how much ice buildup on the chill panel.
@@JJCentral-DIY the panel and the duct doesn’t have ice buildup atleast or enough to creat a block honestly I think it’s just too many vents around the panel that not a lot of fair gets to flow downwards. I honestly don’t keep anything in the freezer could I maybe block some vents?
@@Terminator_888 the fan may not be blowing in full speed. Do you feel like the fan produces enough air to push through the duct? It should spin aggressively like a computer fan.
@@JJCentral-DIY maybe it doesn’t. I Can hear the fan with the door closed. When I took off the panel I did notice that it wasn’t blowing much air through the duct. However it was blowing hard through the side vents. We have the exact same panel and everything so I hope it’s easy to visualize what I’m talking about.
@@Terminator_888 since we have the same panel, it should be easy to refer from the video. All the air basically should go into the channel. If it escapes, see if the fan bracket is seated properly and also if the fan blades are pushing air into the channel and not away. There is also a flap in some fridge to control the air flow, if you have it make sure it is open. Hope you can see from the fridge side all the way to the fan without anything blocking.
I the exact same problem, but my brand name is LG (from India). Can you check if the same replacement motor will work for me too? Thanks.
Thanks!
