W11407678 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor

The W11407678 Evaporator Fan Motor (W11407678) is a genuine part manufactured by Whirlpool for use in their refrigerators. This component, sometimes referred to as the refrigerator circulation fan, is critical for maintaining the desired temperature within your appliance. It works by spinning a fan to circulate air across the cold, refrigerant-filled evaporator coils. This process removes heat from the interior of the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring your food and other items stay at the proper temperature.

The evaporator fan motor consists of an electric motor with bearings that allow smooth rotation of the shaft connected to the fan blades. It's mounted strategically to minimize vibration and noise. The continuous airflow it generates is essential for temperature regulation within the refrigerator. It achieves this by constantly pulling heat from the contents and rejecting it to the refrigeration system via the evaporator.

When this part is failing, your refrigerator or freezer may become warm due to inefficient heat transfer. This is a clear indication that the evaporator fan motor needs replacement. Before purchasing, please verify the model number of your appliance to ensure compatibility with the W11407678 Evaporator Fan Motor.
