FREEZER MOTOR

"Replace the freezer interior fan"

"Dismantle ice maker and remove shelves brackets. remove back panel, unplug electricals at each stage. remove fan blade, remove screws holding motor. reassemble reverse order. the back panel cant be removed without removing the brackets which support the ice maker and shelves otherwise very easy."

"Removed the rear panel, removed the fan case. dismantle cage that holds the motor, replaced motor in reverse."

"After removing panels to access the fan it is simple plug and play relacement."

"All screws are phillips heads. unplug from power, remove all freezer contents including the top 2 shelves, unscrew two screws underneath the light cover and then remove the cover, prise off the dummy covers for the 3 screws holding the fan unit in place a small sharp 3mm flat tip screwdriver works well, the dummies have their catch parts in the horizontal plane - the top left one can stay as it does nothing. undo the three screws. take note of the arrow markings on the edges of the plastic as they indicate where the catch tabs are...gently buckle the unit at the side to release the catches. once it is free unplug the fan plug. to replace the motor undo the single cover screw the motor becomes free...note orientation of motor rubbers to get the fan off prise of the end of the spring surrounding the fan spigot with a flat blade screw driver..pointy nose pliers required to completely remove. to release the fan force it toward the motor to crack the factory glue then remove it outwards...it does require some force..if you break the plastic on one side like i did use some superglue to stick it back on when you put the new motor in. assembly is the reverse."

"Remove the covers, take the old fan off the motor shaft by pulling firmly before removing the motor from its housings"

"Very easy to change out the fan motor. any tradesman will have it done in less than half an hour."
