W11396715 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor

The Whirlpool Evaporator Fan Motor (W11396715) is a genuine part designed for specific Whirlpool refrigerators. This device, sometimes referred to as an evaporator blower, plays a crucial role in the cooling process of your appliance.

The function of this motor is to spin the fan that blows air across the refrigerant-filled evaporator coils. This action circulates cold air throughout the compartments of your refrigerator, facilitating the removal of heat. The motor's bearings ensure the smooth rotation of the shaft connected to the fan blades, while its mounting reduces vibration.

The evaporator fan motor is essential for maintaining the set interior temperatures of your refrigerator. Without it, the compartments may become warm due to inefficient heat transfer. If your refrigerator is not cooling properly, or if the motor is unusually noisy or completely silent, it might indicate that the evaporator fan motor is failing.

Before purchasing, it is advisable to verify the compatibility of this part with your specific refrigerator model number. This ensures that the Whirlpool Evaporator Fan Motor (W11396715) is the correct component for your appliance.
