Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
The evaporator is found in the back of the freezer. This kit comes with two mounting grommets, two sleeves (not to be used on porcelain models), two #8 mounting screws, and a push-on fan blade. If you are experiencing symptoms such as the fridge making loud noises (generally stemming from the freezer compartment), or the fridge/freezer feeling warm in temperature, this may indicate a need to replace your evaporator fan motor. This part pulls air into the evaporator coils and then disperses the air in a continuous motion throughout the refrigerator and freezer.

worked well
It was the correct part,however the brackets in the picture of the parts were not included. No big deal, I will use the old ones. Again, no big deal, but I had to "split" the motor to instal the brackets. All in all it worked well and I was pleased.

Removed 4 hex head (1/4in) screws on fan shroud (23) and brought down into the freezer. Disconnected electrical spade connectors from motor and removed entire unit from freezer to work on motor. Removed two hex head screws (18) holding motor to the brackets. Pushed new fan on to new motor using a 1/4 nut driver and hammer. Mounted motor to old brackets with two screws (18). Placed motor/fan/shroud unit in freezer and reconnected electrical spade connectors. Replaced motor/fan/shroud in freezer with the 4 hex head screws (15), dropping one behind the coils. Just replaced it with a look alike. Turned power back on to check if the fan was operating normally. Put back panel in place and screwed it in place then put shelving clips back into place and then all the shelving. Appears to operating quietly so far. About 30 minutes to complete the job.

Guys: I am having a unusual problem with evap fan motors. When first installed fan runs normal speed but when temp comes down fan slows to less then half speed and may speed back up for a few mins and slow again. I have tried 2 of them i bought from you, both have the same problem. Have you heard of this before. Any ideas. The blade spins freely.
For model number ET20DKXAN00
Hi Craig, thank you for your question. I would suggest pulling your appliance out and checking that the condenser coils are clean from any dust/debris. After cleaning the coils if they are dirty you still have this issue. I would suggest then looking at your condenser fan and motor. You will want to make sure the fan blades are clean and you will want to make sure the motor is working properly. Good luck with your repair.
