Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor WP12013209Q

This was for a no frills garage refrigerator that quit working after about 20 years. I had an appliance repair company come out and let me know that the evaporator fan had failed. He check his sources for parts and let us know that a replacement is not available and no longer made. This left me little or few options. On a whim, thought I would check Sears parts. Low and behold, the part I needed was in stock. I ordered it, it arrived in a little over a week and I installed it this past weekend with no trouble. Now the freezer is at O degrees and the refrigerator is at 37! Save a good refrigerator from ending up in a landfill and me forking out $1000+ for a replacement.

Easy to install. Troubleshooting was the hard part!

I got the right part and a good price. The part works well.

A 15 minute job. Glad I bought the assembly and not just the motor and fan. My time is valuable, and think this saved me 30 minutes.

Different size fan blade than original - hopefully the manufacturer adjusted the pitch, speed & housing to still work properly. With the unit in hand, I can try to replace the motor of the assembly separately. According to my last email from the vendor, the part has been further backordered & they will let me know when it will arrive - that came 2 days AFTER shipper advised me it had been shipped. Still no further updates from the vendor...

The part was easily installed and fixed the problem with our refrigerator (Freezer cold, but refrigerator warm). One small snag was encountered: The electrical connection tabs were not located in the same position as in the old motor. It required rerouting of one of the wires to install. I only rated it 2 stars because I paid $45 dollars extra for 2-day shipping. The package was delivered 4 days later after all our food had spoiled. My advice: DON"T expect quick delivery and DON'T pay extra.
