This is a blower motor, also known as evaporator fan motor, for a refrigerator. It features a 3-wire connector. The motor powers the fan to circulate air through the fridge to your fresh food compartment. This allows for efficient cooling.

Refrigerator not cooling, Freezer working fine
Frig area was at about 50 degrees and would not get cooler. Freezer was working great. Empty the freezer and remove the two screws that hold the back panel of the inside of the freezer on. Pull the panel out and you will see the fan that is mounted to the back of the panel. If the fan is not running, disconnect it (quick connector) and check to see if there is voltage coming to it from the connector (should be 120VAC between the two wires). If there is power, and the fan was not working, replace the fan.
Fan just snaps into the holder on the back panel and plugs into the quick connector. Make sure you clear any ice build-up in the hole between the freezer and the frig that the fans blows through. Put it back together and verify the fan runs.

Freezer seemed ok, though frosty, but the bottom section was not cold enough, and the compressor seemed to run constantly.
The lower compartment was hovering around 50 degrees. Logic told me that cold air was not being driven from the freezer to the lower compartment. At first, I found the passageway between freezer and lower compartment was blocked with frost/ice, which could have been the entire problem. But why was that ice accumulated there? After defrosting, the problem was only partly solved. A few how-to videos suggested that the defrost timer was a common problem, so I tried that, the part was about $11, with minimal improvement. So I concluded that the fan was not driving cold air from the freezer to the lower section. I tested the fan by removing the freezer back panel completely, wiring the fan to an old ordinary power cord, and plugging that in to a wall outlet. The fan would not start on its own, would only turn if I gave it a spin, and then was very weak - I could stop it with a finger without pain! When my new fan arrived, I again removed the back panel in the freezer and replaced the fan, just a few screws to remove, then swap the fan blade to the new fan motor. The process was simple and obvious. Now the lower section stays near 40 degrees, though I'm not convinced that's the only problem-there seems to be a lot of variation in the temperature. BTW, I had also confirmed the defrost heating element was functional by activating the defrost timer (see youtube), to eliminate that from the diagnosis.
took back cover off in freezer replaced fan motor put cover back works fine

EVAPORATOR FAN MOTOR & BLADE
The service manual diagram shows the 149 complete fan shroud in a vertical (upright) position. Misleading! Of course. The actual mounting of the lay in fan shroud fully assembled is in the horizontal position laying in a tray area just above the evaporator coil cage assembly. The entire shroud assembly can be installed incorrectly by the diagram and will still fit. BUT... no cold air will flow or be forced into the ice maker vent nor the refrigerator vent. I found this out the hard way by trial & error. If the drawing had shown it in the horizontal position for both removal and reinstallation... it would have saved a lot of time and headaches. Also, the diagram does not show the (2) plastic angle supports on the shroud, another scratch your head event. Parts included on drawing... 149, 5, 8, 9, 13, 14 on CTFFHS2611PF4 diagram page of service manual. ALSO, the (4) lower cabinet plate screws have to be removed, and the first left hand screw counting up to allow the next upper panel to swing out enough to lay the shroud in correctly (horizontal) on top of the evaporator coil cage. BOTTOM LINE... THE AIR FLOW HAS TO BE UP IN ORDER TO WORK PROPERLY.
the refrigerator stop making ice and only the bottom part was cooling
first i order a defrost termostate i replace it but wasnt the problem then i unpluged the evaporator fan motor and test it and was not working order a new one and working like new.

Evaporator fan doesn't run. Freezer is very cold below 0 if I set the control that low. Defrost tube is cold. Without the fan working refrigerator is 50 degrees. At times it sounded like the fan may have been pulsating before it guit working. Is there anything to check besides replacing the evaporator fan motor.
For model number FFTR2021TWO
Hello Tim, thank you for contacting us. Mostly the failure of the evaporator motor, part number PS12728811, is caused by ice build-up in the evaporator coils and motor. If you notice constant built-up ice around the coils of the evaporator, we would suggest checking the defrost thermostat, part number PS6448122, and the defrost heater PS2581595. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of assistance!
How do I access the evaporator fan motor to replace it?
Where is it located in the fridge?
For model number Fftr2021td2
Hi Ron, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, the evaporator fan motor is located on the back inner panel of the freezer section. To replace the evaporator fan motor, remove the shelf and ice maker if installed. Then, remove the two nuts on the front of the panel. Pull the panel out after removing the wire harnesses attached. Remove two retaining clips on the evaporator motor cover. Remove the front air damper control by slighting it up. Pull the fan blade out. Then, remove the rear motor retaining grommet by rotating anticlockwise. Remove the motor washer from the front and take the evaporator motor off and replace it. We hope this helps!

freezer works fine, fridge not cooling, evaporater fan not running when i plkug it un. should it be running when compressor is?
For model number fftro2021 tw1
Hello Doug, Thank you for your inquiry. The evaporator fan motor should run anytime the compressor and condenser fan motor are running. The air damper control then releases the cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment. You can test the parts with a multimeter. 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!
will this fix noisy fan motor? cooling and freezer not an issue. just very loud hum when fan runs thank you
For model number ffss2614qs6a
Hello Seth, Thank you for your inquiry. If the fan motor is very noisy, then we would recommend replacing it. Also check the fan blade to make sure it is not catching on anything. 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!
