How to Replace an LG Refrigerator Noisy Evaporator Fan 

Thank you! I hate calling a repairman for easy, inexpensive fixes. This video is exactly what I needed to do it myself!

Hi Mike. Thanks so much for this video. It certainly helped me out. If you will allow me, I do have one suggestion to make it substantially easier (I actually got the idea from your video when you took the fan off of the shaft to help you reinstall the assembly). I found that you do not have to take the fan motor assembly out of the fridge to swap out the motor. If you take out the screw that holds the assembly to the back of the fridge (to give you some "wiggle room" and remove that plastic J-tube looking thing (it just pulls off, no tools needed) you can then pull the fan off of the shaft (you can even leave the fan in the fridge), then use a small 90º philips screw driver or a short stubby screw driver snaked behind the various tubes to remove the four screws holding the motor in and then just swap in the new motor and put the fan back on the shaft. That way you don't have to wrestle with the motor assembly and risk breaking those tabs on the bottom.

Thanks for this valuable information on where to buy appliance parts. Your videos are very helpful. Keep up the great work.

Very helpful video. What was the part number?

What’s the part number?

Thanks for this video! Do you have the part number for the fan motor? Mine is doing this exact issue.

I did this last week. But instead of replacing the motor, I put some 3 in 1 oil on the shaft and reinstalled it. Works like new. This was just a stop gap measure until the new motor comes in, but it got us going again for now.

This is not the evaporator fan. This is the condenser fan.

My problem is taking it out.

I bent some coils in a very small section of the coil while cleaning. Do you think this is an issue?

Thanks - very helpful.

What is the part number?

Where you get that part? Mine is making exact noise and it’s the same part.

1yr after this video and the part is still hard to find,LG calls it a guide fan part#MAE427731 eBay has a bunch of used ones so good luck I just super glued the fan to the motor pole so it doesn't slide forward causing the shaking

Misleading title. That's a condenser fan, not evaporator fan
