EAU61524007 Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The EAU61524007 is a genuine LG OEM evaporator fan motor for LG and select Kenmore refrigerators. This motor circulates air over the evaporator coil and distributes that cooled air into the fresh food and freezer compartments in a balanced way, which is what keeps temperatures even throughout the refrigerator and helps prevent frost from building up on the coil.
DC-powered, white in color, with an assembled height of approximately 1 inch. Over time, the motor's bearings can wear out, or general electrical failure can set in from years of continuous cycling. A failing evaporator fan motor produces a wide range of symptoms since it affects both compartments and the defrost system: the refrigerator may not start at all, either compartment may run too warm or too cold, or frost buildup may appear where it shouldn't. Unusual noise from the freezer is another common early sign of a struggling motor. It directly replaces EAU60694510, AP5950081, PS10058947, EAP10058947, and PD00006349.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly. If there's significant frost or ice around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Unplug the wiring harness connector from the old motor, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and pull the motor and fan blade assembly free. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if a blade isn't included, matching the original orientation. Mount the new EAU61524007 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the back panel. Restore power and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator won't start at all. Could this really be the fan motor?
Yes, this is one of the documented symptoms for this part on LG's own service guidance. Because this motor is tied into the refrigeration and defrost circuit, a failure here can present as the unit not starting at all, in addition to the more expected symptoms like temperature problems or noise. That said, other components can produce a similar no-start symptom, so it's worth confirming this diagnosis if you're not fully certain.
Both compartments are running warm, not just one. Does that still point to this motor?
Yes. Since this motor is responsible for distributing cooled air to both the fresh food and freezer compartments from the evaporator coil, a failure here can affect both areas simultaneously rather than just one, unlike some other fan motor designs that mainly affect the compartment further from the coil.
How do I make sure I'm ordering this exact motor and not a similar one?
Check the part number printed directly on your old motor if it's legible, or confirm your refrigerator's full model number against the compatibility list. LG has released similarly-numbered motors, such as EAU61524002, that serve different models and have different electrical specifications, so matching by number is more reliable than matching by general appearance.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original motor design, blade fitment, and mounting configuration of the evaporator fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.
