241798231 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Ice Maker
The 241798231 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM ice maker assembly for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Westinghouse refrigerators. This 8-cube ice maker receives water from the refrigerator's water inlet valve, holds it in a mold, and freezes it into cubes. Once frozen, an internal mechanism ejects the cubes into the ice bucket below, and the cycle repeats automatically until the bucket is full — at which point a bail arm or sensor tells the ice maker to stop producing more.
This assembly ships complete with its cover, wire harness, bail arm, and installation hardware, terminating in a 5-pin connector for a direct plug-in fit. Measuring approximately 11-3/4"L x 4-5/8"W x 4-3/4"H, with a harness and plug that run about 18" and a bail arm measuring 9-3/8"L x 1/8"W x 4-1/8"H. Over time, the plastic mold where the ice cubes actually form can flake, crack, or corrode, and internal mechanical components can wear out or fail electrically. If your ice maker's mold shows flaking or corrosion, or the unit has simply stopped producing ice, it's time for a new assembly rather than attempting a partial repair. It directly replaces AP6332951, 3206327, 3206329, 241642501, 241642503A, 241642511, 241798201, 241798209, 241798211, 241798220, 241798223, 241798224, 5303320545, 5304445222, 5304456669, 5304456671, 5304456672, EAP12364147, PD00044512, PS12085911, and PS12364147.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator before beginning. Wear work gloves. Open the freezer door and locate the ice maker assembly, typically mounted to the freezer wall or door depending on your model. Remove the ice bucket to improve access. Photograph the wiring harness connection before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws securing the ice maker to the wall, then disconnect the wire harness connector and any water line connection feeding the unit. Remove the old ice maker fully. Install the new 241798231 assembly in the same mounting position, reconnect the wire harness connector, and reconnect the water line if applicable. Secure the mounting screws, reinstall the ice bucket, and restore the water supply and power. Allow several hours for the first cycle to complete and confirm ice is being produced and ejected into the bucket normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ice maker's mold looks flaky or corroded. Should I replace the whole assembly?
Yes. The ice mold is not a separately serviceable component on this assembly — if it's flaking, cracking, or corroded, that's a sign the assembly has reached the end of its service life and the complete unit should be replaced rather than repaired.
My ice maker runs but never stops, or never seems to sense a full bucket. What does that mean?
This can point to a failure in the bail arm or the internal sensing mechanism that tells the ice maker the bucket is full and it's time to pause production. Since the bail arm is included with this complete assembly, replacing the whole unit resolves this along with any other underlying cycling issues, rather than trying to source and repair that mechanism separately.
The listing says this isn't a universal part even though it has a long cross-reference list. What does that mean for me?
The long list of replaced part numbers reflects that this same physical assembly has been sold under many different numbers over the years and across related brands (Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, and others built on the same Frigidaire platform) — it does not mean this ice maker fits every refrigerator. Always confirm your specific model number before ordering, since visually similar ice makers can differ in ways that affect fit.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same mold design, wire harness, bail arm, and mounting configuration as the ice maker assembly originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO W11224591 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO W11224591 is an aftermarket replacement freezer evaporator fan motor assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore bottom-mount French door refrigerators. The evaporator fan motor is located in the freezer compartment behind the rear panel — it draws cold air across the evaporator coils and circulates it throughout both the freezer and the fresh food compartment. This constant air movement is what keeps temperatures even and food fresh. When the fan motor fails, the most common symptom is telling: the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment stops cooling while the freezer stays cold but doesn't reach full capacity, because the fan is no longer moving the cold air up into the fridge section.
This is a complete assembly that includes the fan motor, wiring harness, temperature sensor (thermistor), and defrost thermostat — everything integrated into one replaceable unit. Finished in white. As a direct replacement for the Whirlpool W11224591, it also replaces AP6329809, W10865431, W10728111, W11215582, 4844712, and PS12349521. Motor failure typically results from normal wear, obstruction from frost or debris rubbing the fan blade, or motor winding issues. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W11224591 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Amana bottom-mount French door refrigerators where the fridge section is warm but the freezer is cold, temperatures are uneven, frost builds up on the coils, or unusual noise comes from the freezer compartment. Complete assembly — includes fan motor, wiring harness, temperature sensor, and defrost thermostat. White finish. Replaces AP6329809, W10865431, W10728111, W11215582, 4844712, PS12349521. Compatible with Whirlpool WRF757/WRF767/WRF736 series, KitchenAid KRFF507 series, Maytag MFT2574 series and related models.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor is located in the freezer compartment behind the rear access panel. Remove all freezer shelves, drawers, and the ice maker (if equipped) to clear access to the back wall. If there's frost or ice buildup on the rear panel or coils, allow the freezer to thaw completely before continuing — never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils, as the aluminum fins damage easily. Remove the screws securing the rear freezer access panel and lift it away to expose the evaporator coils and fan motor assembly. Photograph the wiring harness connections and the fan motor orientation before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire harness connectors from the old assembly and release it from its mounting points. Lift out the old fan motor assembly. Install the new W11224591 assembly using the original mounting points and connectors — since this is a complete assembly, the fan motor, harness, temperature sensor, and defrost thermostat all transfer as one unit. Reconnect the wiring harness, matching your photos. Confirm the fan blade spins freely by hand without rubbing on any surrounding surface. Reinstall the rear access panel, shelves, drawers, and ice maker. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Test airflow and temperature consistency before considering the job complete. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator section is warm but the freezer is still cold — is this the fan motor?
This is the single most common and telling symptom of a failed evaporator fan motor on these bottom-mount French door refrigerators. Here's why: the evaporator coils (which produce the cold) are in the freezer, and the evaporator fan is what pushes that cold air up into the fresh food compartment. When the fan motor fails, the freezer stays cold (it's right next to the coils) but the fridge section warms up because no air is being circulated to it. If your freezer is cold and your fridge is warm, the evaporator fan motor is the prime suspect. You can confirm by listening for the fan running when the compressor is on, or opening the freezer rear panel to see if the fan spins.
What's included with this part — is it just the motor?
This is a complete assembly, not just the bare motor. It includes the fan motor, the wiring harness, the temperature sensor (thermistor), and the defrost thermostat — all integrated into one unit. This is actually an advantage: since these components live together in the freezer compartment and can each cause cooling problems, replacing them as a bundle addresses multiple potential failure points in a single repair, reducing the chance you'll be back in the freezer compartment a few months later for a related part.
Why is my evaporator fan making noise?
A noisy evaporator fan usually means one of two things: the motor bearings are wearing out (producing grinding or squealing), or the fan blade is rubbing against frost or ice that has built up around it. If frost buildup is the cause, that often points to a secondary problem with the defrost system (defrost heater, thermostat, or control) allowing ice to accumulate where it shouldn't. Since this replacement assembly includes a new defrost thermostat, it addresses one of the common defrost-related causes. If heavy frost keeps returning after replacement, the defrost heater or control board should be investigated next.
Do I need to defrost the freezer before installing this?
If there's frost or ice buildup on the rear freezer panel or evaporator coils, yes — clear it before installing the new assembly. Leave the freezer empty and unplugged with the door open for several hours (longer for heavy ice) to let everything thaw naturally, placing towels at the base to catch melt water. Never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils with a tool — the aluminum fins are delicate and a damaged coil is a far more expensive repair. Once everything is fully thawed and dried, proceed with the fan motor replacement.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the fit, mounting points, connector configuration, and function of the original W11224591 evaporator fan motor assembly used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore bottom-mount French door refrigerators — including the integrated harness, temperature sensor, and defrost thermostat.

WPW10190981 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker
The WPW10190981 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM ice maker assembly for Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and Amana French door refrigerators. This assembly receives water from the refrigerator's water inlet, holds it in the ice mold until it freezes, then uses a heating element to loosen the finished ice from the mold and automatically eject it — a rotating arm pushes the ice into the storage bin, and the cycle repeats until the bin is full.
This is a modular-style assembly, and it does not include a new cover, ice level arm, or wire harness — these three components must be reused from your existing ice maker. If the coating on your current ice maker's mold is flaking off, or if internal components are no longer functioning correctly, replacing the assembly resolves both problems together. It directly replaces W10122533 and W10190981.
Quick Answer
The WPW10190981 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and Amana French door refrigerators that have stopped making ice, are producing less ice than usual, or have a mold with flaking coating. Replaces W10122533, W10190981. This assembly does not include the cover, ice level arm, or wire harness — you must transfer these three components from your old ice maker to the new one during installation.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Ice maker has stopped producing ice entirely
Ice maker producing less ice than it used to
Ice mold coating visibly flaking or deteriorating
Ice maker cycling but not ejecting ice into the bin
Internal ice maker components no longer functioning correctly

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — This Assembly Does Not Include The Cover, Ice Level Arm, Or Wire Harness Disconnect power to the refrigerator, or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance, before beginning. Wear work gloves. Move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Open the freezer door and remove the ice bucket or drawer to access the ice maker. Photograph the wiring harness connection and the position of the cover and ice level arm before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws securing the old ice maker in place, then disconnect the wire harness connector. Before setting the old ice maker aside, remove its cover, ice level arm, and wire harness — none of these three components are included with this replacement assembly, and you'll need to transfer all of them onto the new WPW10190981. Attach the cover, ice level arm, and wire harness from your old ice maker onto the new assembly, making sure each is seated and connected correctly. Mount the new assembly in the same position, reconnect the wire harness connector, and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the ice bucket or drawer. Restore power and allow several hours for the first cycle to complete, confirming ice is being produced and ejected normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this ice maker come complete and ready to install?
Not entirely — this assembly does not include a new cover, ice level arm, or wire harness. You'll need to remove these three components from your existing ice maker and transfer them onto this new assembly during installation, since only the ice maker body itself is included.
My ice mold's coating is flaking. Should I replace the whole assembly?
Yes. The mold coating isn't a separately serviceable part — if it's flaking off, replacing the complete ice maker assembly is the correct fix, since a damaged coating can affect ice quality and won't improve on its own.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's considered a moderate repair requiring basic hand tools, some disassembly of the refrigerator, and novice repair experience. The extra step of transferring the cover, ice level arm, and wire harness from your old unit adds a bit more care to the process compared to a fully complete replacement assembly, but it's manageable for a confident DIYer.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original mold design, heating element, and cycling mechanism of the ice maker originally installed in your refrigerator.

The WR60X31522 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement evaporator fan motor compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Americana top-mount freezer refrigerators. The evaporator fan motor is located at the back of the freezer compartment and circulates air across the evaporator coils — converting the heat from the air into cool air that's then distributed throughout both the freezer and fresh food sections. Without a properly functioning evaporator fan, the refrigerator can't move cold air where it's needed, causing the fresh food and/or freezer sections to warm up, ice to build up on the coils, and the compressor to run continuously trying to compensate.
This 115V AC motor is rated at 60Hz, 3.3W and uses a 2-pin connector plus ground wire. Dimensions are 3-1/4"L x 2-3/8"W x 3-3/8"H, with a harness and plug extending approximately 3-1/2" from the motor. Construction is plastic and metal in marbled white & gray. Note: this listing is for the motor with harness only — the fan blade may need to be transferred from the old motor. It directly replaces WR60X10045, WR60X10046, WR60X10072, WR60X10138, WR60X10141, WR60X10346, WR60X23584, WR60X27646, WR60X28783, WR60X28784, WR60X31122, WR60X31523, 4959523, 197D2038P031, AP6977246, EAP12741350, PD00062864, and PS12741350.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor is located at the back of the freezer compartment, behind an interior access panel. Remove the freezer shelves and any internal components blocking access to the rear panel. Remove the screws holding the rear access panel in place to expose the evaporator coils and fan motor. Photograph the wire connections and fan blade orientation before disconnecting. Disconnect the 2-pin wire harness connector and the ground wire from the old motor. Note the orientation of the fan blade on the motor shaft — the blade typically presses onto the shaft and may need to be transferred to the new motor. Remove the mounting screws or release the motor from its mounting bracket, and pull the old motor free. Carefully transfer the fan blade to the new WR60X31522 motor in the same orientation (or use a new blade if you have one). Install the new motor in the same position, reconnect the wire harness and ground wire, and reinstall the access panel and shelves. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the evaporator fan motor has failed?
The most common symptoms are: the refrigerator or freezer is warmer than its set temperature even though the compressor sounds like it's running normally; heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils behind the freezer access panel ("Antarctica" frost); and loud whining, grinding, or scraping noise from the freezer area. To confirm: unplug the refrigerator, remove the rear freezer access panel, and try turning the fan blade by hand. If it doesn't spin freely or is stiff/seized, the motor bearing has failed. You can also test for motor continuity with a multimeter — no continuity confirms electrical failure.
My refrigerator has two evaporator fans — which one does this replace?
Some refrigerator models have two evaporator fan motors — one in the fresh food section and one in the freezer section. The WR60X31522 is typically the freezer-section evaporator fan motor on top-mount style GE and Hotpoint refrigerators. If your symptom is "freezer not cooling properly" or "frost on freezer coils," this is the correct part. If your symptom is specifically "fresh food section warm while freezer is fine" on a French door refrigerator, you may need a different fan motor — contact our support team with your model number to confirm.
Does this motor come with the fan blade?
No — the WR60X31522 listing is for the motor with harness and plug only. The fan blade is typically transferred from the old motor: carefully pull it off the old motor shaft (it presses on, no hardware needed), and press it onto the new motor shaft in the same orientation. If your old fan blade is damaged or cracked, it should be replaced separately. Installing the blade in the wrong direction will reverse the airflow and reduce cooling performance.
What's the difference between the WR60X31522 (115V AC) and DC motors like the WR60X10209 or WR60X26866?
GE refrigerators use different fan motor technologies across model generations. The WR60X31522 is a 115V AC motor with a 2-pin connector plus ground — used in many GE and Hotpoint top-mount freezer refrigerators. The WR60X10209 and WR60X26866 are DC voltage motors (around 11–14V DC) used in newer GE French door refrigerators with electronic control boards that supply variable DC voltage for energy-efficient variable-speed fan operation. These are not interchangeable — always verify the correct part number for your specific refrigerator model before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same evaporator fan motor installed in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Americana refrigerators from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

OE WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The OE WR60X10220 is an Original Equipment condenser fan motor for GE-built refrigerators, sourced from the same original manufacturer that supplies this motor for genuine GE production, and shipped in XPARTCO packaging rather than GE retail packaging. The condenser fan motor pulls air across the condenser coils and compressor to dissipate heat, and on many models it also helps evaporate condensate that collects in the drain pan below the compressor. When this motor fails or weakens, the compressor and coils can't shed heat properly, leading to a refrigerator that runs constantly, doesn't cool adequately, or develops a squealing/screeching noise as the motor bearings wear.
It directly replaces WR60X10220, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, 197D1871P026, IS-2321GEN, AH1766247, EA1766247, EAP1766247, AP4298602, AGE29216, PD00001198, PS1766247, SM10220. Located in the rear compressor compartment behind the refrigerator's rear access panel. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The OE WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore (GE-built) refrigerators that run constantly, don't cool adequately, or make a squealing/screeching noise from the compressor compartment. This is an Original Equipment motor — same manufacturer as genuine GE production, packaged as XPARTCO rather than GE retail packaging. 115V. Replaces WR60X10220, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, 197D1871P026, IS-2321GEN, AH1766247, EA1766247, EAP1766247, AP4298602, AGE29216, PD00001198, PS1766247, SM10220. Classic symptom: loud squealing or screeching noise coming from behind the fridge.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Refrigerator runs constantly and doesn't cycle off normally
Fridge or freezer not cooling adequately or running warm
Loud squealing, screeching, or grinding noise from the rear compressor compartment
Compressor overheating or shutting off on thermal protection
Water pooling under the refrigerator from an overwhelmed drain pan
Condenser fan blade not spinning, or spinning slowly/intermittently
What Is an OE Part?
OE ("Original Equipment") parts are sourced from the same original manufacturer that supplies the component for genuine factory production — not a different aftermarket maker. The difference from a "Genuine OEM" listing is packaging: an OE part ships in XPARTCO packaging instead of the appliance brand's retail box, at a lower cost, while the part itself comes off the same production line. OE is a separate designation from our XPARTCO aftermarket brand and is never labeled with an XPARTCO prefix.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall and remove the rear access panel over the compressor compartment (typically several screws around the perimeter). Locate the condenser fan motor and blade near the compressor. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector. Remove the mounting screws or bracket clip holding the motor in place, and note the orientation of the fan blade on the motor shaft before removing it — the blade must be reinstalled facing the same direction to move air correctly. Transfer the fan blade to the new WR60X10220 motor, or install the blade included with your kit in the same orientation. Mount the new motor in the same position and secure it. Reconnect the wiring harness, matching your photos. Reinstall the rear access panel, restore power, and confirm the fan spins freely and the compressor area cools down normally after running. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver, needle-nose pliers (for wiring connectors).
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this OE part and a "Genuine OEM" listing?
Both come from the same original manufacturer as factory production — the difference is packaging and price. A Genuine OEM listing ships in the appliance brand's own retail box; this OE part ships in XPARTCO packaging at a lower cost, with no difference in the motor itself.
My fridge is making a loud squealing noise — is this the part I need?
Very likely, yes. A squealing or screeching noise from behind the refrigerator, especially one that gets louder over time, is one of the most common symptoms of a failing condenser fan motor as its bearings wear out. Pull the unit out and listen near the rear compressor compartment to confirm the noise is coming from that area before ordering.
Is this the same as an evaporator fan motor?
No — these are different components serving different purposes, and it's easy to order the wrong one. The evaporator fan motor is inside the freezer compartment and circulates cold air through the fridge and freezer. This condenser fan motor is in the rear compressor compartment and cools the compressor and condenser coils. Confirm which one your model uses based on symptoms and location before ordering.
Do I need to transfer the fan blade from my old motor?
On many models, yes — the fan blade is a separate component that mounts onto the motor shaft, and you'll transfer it from the old motor to the new one, noting its orientation first. Some kits include a new blade; check what's included with your specific motor before starting the repair.

XPARTCO DA31-00334C Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO DA31-00334C is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor for Samsung bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators. This small brushless DC (BLDC) motor sits behind the freezer's rear panel, directly in front of the evaporator coil, and its job is to pull cold air off that coil and push it through the duct system into both the freezer and fresh food compartments. Without it circulating air, the coil itself keeps getting cold, but that cold air never reaches your food — the freezer may still work reasonably well since it sits closer to the coil, while the fresh food side drifts warmer and warmer since it depends entirely on ducted airflow from the back.
Rated at 12V DC, 2.5W, 0.12A, running at approximately 1,870 RPM. As a brushless design, this motor has no physical brushes to wear out, so failure typically comes from a worn bearing that lets the blade wobble or bind, a winding that has burned out electrically, or a blade that has become jammed by a chunk of built-up frost or freezer debris. It directly replaces DA31-00287B, DA31-00334A, DA31-00305A, DA96-00968A, AP6803162, 3954921, AP5948644, PS9494284, EAP9494284, PS12590897, and EAP12590897. Also compatible with select Kenmore refrigerators built on the Samsung platform.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DA31-00334C Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes Samsung bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators with uneven cooling, a fresh food compartment that's warmer than it should be, frost or ice buildup at the back or bottom of the freezer, or a grinding/buzzing noise from inside the cabinet. Brushless DC (BLDC) motor, 12V DC, 2.5W, 0.12A, ~1,870 RPM. Replaces DA31-00287B, DA31-00334A, DA31-00305A, DA96-00968A, AP6803162, 3954921, AP5948644, PS9494284, EAP9494284, PS12590897, EAP12590897. Verify your model number before ordering — Samsung uses several different evaporator fan motors, and this is not the same part as our DA81-06013A listing.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Fresh food compartment running warmer than the freezer, or warmer than it used to
Uneven temperatures between shelves or between the fresh food and freezer sides
Frost or ice buildup accumulating at the back panel or bottom of the freezer
Grinding, buzzing, or rattling noise coming from inside the refrigerator cabinet
Noise that stops when the freezer door is opened and starts again once it's closed
Freezer holding temperature reasonably well while the fresh food side drifts warm
Fan blade that doesn't spin freely, or spins with noticeable wobble, when checked by hand
Refrigerator running constantly as the compressor tries to compensate for poor air circulation

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Let The Freezer Thaw If Iced Over Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and remove all food from the freezer to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Access is through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove the shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel and set it aside to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly. If you see significant frost or ice buildup 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, since ice can be masking the actual point of failure and can also make the old motor difficult to remove cleanly. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and carefully pull the motor and fan blade assembly free — on many models the blade is a separate piece that pulls off the motor shaft. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if it isn't included, or install the new blade supplied with this motor, matching the original orientation. Mount the new DA31-00334C 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 cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer seems fine but the fresh food section is warm. Is this really the fan motor?
Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer compartment sits right next to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through simple proximity even with poor air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on the fan pushing cold air through the ducting to reach it. When the fan motor fails or slows down, the fresh food side is usually the first and most noticeably affected area, while the freezer may seem to lag only slightly behind.
I hear a grinding or buzzing noise that stops when I open the freezer door. What does that mean?
This is a classic symptom of a worn fan motor bearing or a blade that's catching on built-up frost. Opening the door often triggers the refrigerator's internal light switch or door sensor, which can cut power to the fan momentarily — the noise stops because the fan stops spinning, then resumes once the door closes and the fan restarts. If you can see or reach the fan blade with the freezer open, check whether it spins freely and smoothly by hand; a blade that wobbles, binds, or contacts the housing points to the motor as the cause.
There's a lot of frost around the back panel of my freezer. Should I fix that before replacing the fan?
It's worth understanding which came first. Excess frost can be a cause of fan failure — a jammed blade can burn out the motor over time — or a result of it, since poor air circulation lets moisture condense and freeze unevenly around the coil area. Either way, thawing the ice out fully before you install the new motor makes the repair easier and lets you confirm the blade spins freely once everything is defrosted, rather than immediately jamming again on refrozen ice.
Do I need to transfer the fan blade from my old motor?
It depends on what's included with your specific order — check whether a blade came with your new motor before removing the old one. If a blade is not included, the blade from your original motor typically pulls off the shaft and can be transferred over. Photograph the blade's orientation on the shaft before removing it so you can reinstall it the same way; an improperly oriented blade can affect airflow or contact the housing.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (12V DC, 2.5W, 0.12A, ~1,870 RPM), brushless motor design, and mounting configuration of the original DA31-00334C evaporator fan motor used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore refrigerators.

5303918214 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
The 5303918214 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM defrost thermostat kit for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators — commonly used on side-by-side and French door models equipped with an ice maker. This thermostat monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils: when the coils drop below a set temperature, it allows power to reach the defrost heater so frost can be cleared; once the coils warm back up, it cuts power to the heater again, protecting the evaporator from being overheated during that process.
The most common reasons this thermostat gets replaced are a classic pair of symptoms: the freezer stays cold while the fresh food refrigerator section runs warm, or the refrigerator simply isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Because this thermostat sits behind the rear access panel near the ice maker on many compatible models, replacing it typically involves removing the ice maker and the back panel to reach it — a more involved repair than a thermostat mounted in an easily accessible spot. It directly replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, and 75303918214. As a genuine OEM part, the 5303918214 is manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The 5303918214 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat fixes Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators where the freezer stays cold but the fresh food section runs warm, or the refrigerator isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, 75303918214. This is a separate part from our 5303918202 defrost thermostat listing — the two fit different model groups and are not interchangeable. Installation on many compatible models requires removing the ice maker to access the thermostat.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet and turn off the water supply to the refrigerator before beginning. Wear work gloves. If your model has an ice maker, remove it first using a screwdriver to gain clearance for the next steps. Remove the back panel with a screwdriver to expose the defrost thermostat. Take out the existing thermostat and disconnect its wiring, labeling or photographing each connection first. Install the new 5303918214 thermostat by connecting the wires according to the wiring diagram provided with the kit, then secure the thermostat to the main housing using the small mounting screws. Reinstall the back panel, plug the refrigerator back in, turn the water supply back on, and reinstall the ice maker. Test the refrigerator over the following day to confirm both compartments are cooling evenly and the defrost cycle is running normally. Tools needed: screwdriver, wire cutters/strippers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to remove the ice maker for this repair?
On many compatible models, yes — the thermostat sits behind the rear access panel in an area that the ice maker partially blocks, so removing it first gives you the clearance needed to reach the panel and the thermostat behind it. It's an extra step compared to some simpler defrost thermostat replacements, but it's a standard part of this particular repair.
My freezer is cold but the fridge is warm. Is this the thermostat?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a failed defrost thermostat. When it fails, the defrost heater can't run correctly to clear frost from the evaporator coil, and the resulting ice buildup blocks the airflow that's supposed to carry cold air to the fresh food compartment. The freezer, sitting closer to the coil, often stays reasonably cold, while the fresh food side runs warm since it depends on that circulated air.
I replaced the thermostat but my freezer temperature is still fluctuating. What should I check next?
Replacing this thermostat resolves the issue for most customers, but if fluctuation continues, it's worth checking the other components in the same defrost circuit — the defrost timer and defrost heater — since a failure in either of those can produce similar temperature instability even with a good thermostat installed. It's also worth confirming the door seals are sealing properly, since a poor seal lets warm air in and can cause temperature swings unrelated to the defrost system.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original temperature threshold, mounting configuration, and function of the defrost thermostat originally installed in your refrigerator.
