compressor motor running constantly and not cooling
Removed freezer bottom and back plates-encountered ice -melted with heat gun.Observed fan not running with fridge plugged in and considerable erosion of the styrofoam part.ordered fan motor and blade and styrofoam ducting and replaced same.Fan started running immediately when plugged in and now the compressor cycles normally and the refrigerator compartment is much cooler and icing has stopped. I'm good to go until the compressor fails! thanks for the excellent delivery service(2 days)and your parts diagrams really helped me trouble shoot the problem.

Refrigerator fan motor died
It has been my experience that these motors sometimes die when the refrigerator is overfilled and motor strains to keep refrigerator cold. And this motor is used in several models of refrigerators. That said, sometimes the hook-up is slightly different between other units. The available video is good, but like I said, circumstances will be slightly different between various models.
After cleaning out freezer (plug disconnected first), start to remove outer plastic covers. If you want to keep track of the different steps, you can take pictures with your cellphone. And if there are any connecting wire attachments you think you might not remember, again, you can take a picture, or label with tape (colored tape, or by writing on the tape). And for keeping track of the different-size screws, I place them in a muffin tin, keeping an order of left to right and top to bottom in the tin. When removing Styrofoam blocks in bottom center, make sure you remove any remaining ice underneath in the hole so refrigerator can "breathe". Freezer air is moved below to refrigerator compartment, so a blocked vent hole will strain refrigerator as it tries to maintain its temperature setting and can be the cause of your failed motor.
After replacing motor onto bracket with grommets and blade, don't completely tighten. Position plastic cover with hole opening over motor and blade assembly. Twirl motor blade to see if there is any interference with cover. If not, take away cover and tighten motor on bracket. If there is any rubbing, adjust motor/blade assembly accordingly before tightening in place. Putting everything back together is in reverse order.

EVAP fan motor wore out, fan hits flange in back panel
Took back out of freezer compartment, pulled plug and removed old motor, inserted new parts. It was
easy and the parts arrived the day after I ordered
online, even though I chose the cheapest shipping
option. Nothing in my freezer had a chance to thaw
out.

noise from fan blade hitting refrigerator interior panel.
The hardest part of the repair was emptying the freezer, next was getting the fan off of the motor shaft, The only reason the job was difficult is because i am 67 years old and not as flexible as i used to be.I had a tough time getting the fan off of the motor shaft, but i got it off with the use of a vise, and had to use the hammer and a socket to install a new fan blade.

Refrigerator making noise coming from the freezer. Took the screws out. And the fan was wobbling and making the noise. GTH18EBC2RBB model number.
For model number GTH18EBC2RBB
Hi Freda,
Thank you for your question. If you are hearing noise from the evaporator fan motor, the issue either a damaged or worn fan blade, part number PS1018129, or grommet, part number PS963756, and you will need to check each part to see which one is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Why does the fan make a. Noise?
For model number gtm18gbedres
Hello Renee, Thank you for your inquiry. If the evaporator fan in the freezer or the condenser fan at the back near the compressor is making a noise, it could be an obstruction to the fan blade, so make sure the blades can turn freely and is not hitting against anything. You can test both the condenser fan motor and evaporator fan motor with a multimeter to see if either is faulty. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

We just purchased a fan blade for this refrigerator because of noise and now that we have it apart the shaft is very loose or wiggly. Do we need to purchase a condenser or a shaft. There is a noise when we turn shaft. Thank you
For model number HTS17GBSERWW
Hi Robert, thank you for the question. Based on the description you have provided, it seems that there is an issue with the condenser fan motor, part number PS967022. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!

How do you know which direction to install a new evaporator fan when you have removed the old one and do not remember how the old 1 was installed.
For model number Gts16dthcrbb
Hi Rick, thank you for your question. The fan blades should be facing out toward the front of the appliance when you install the part. Good luck with your repair.
