Supco SM343 Evaporator Fan Motor Replaces Whirlpool 482731, 4389140, 8537621, 4318001, 0056721

Always check if it comes with brackets. Ground wire a little short, had to add extension. Works great now.

Sis went down to our elderly parents basement and was alarmed by the noise the old kenmore fridge in the basement was making and unplugged it because she was afraid of it catching fire. On checking I found that the evaporator fan, in the back of the freezer had bad bearings and was screeching loudly. A replacement fan from the local appliance repair shop was almost $70.Parents did not want to spend big money on an old refrigerator, and they were going to replace it. Found this on amazon and thought why not? Had to do some trimming of the mounting bracket but it works just fine and is very quiet. The old Kenmore cools like new now. If you are buying this I recommend you also check the coil fan, usually located at the bottom of the refrigerator. Be sure that it is free to rotate and blow air over the coils in order for the refrigerator to cool well. Put a drop or two of turbine oil on the shaft where it goes into the motor housing once a year or so to keep it that way. You can buy this stuff locally at your local appliance shop or here on amazon at SEPTLS43479704 - Zoom Spout Oilers I am not affiliate with Amazon, and not an appliance repair professional. However, a professional did tell me NOT to use motor oil for this purpose as the additives gum up the electric motors. Good luck and God Bless.

Fixed my 30 year old fridge for $20! Saved me from having to buy a new one. Easy to install, no adjustments needed. Just screwed right into place.

I got this for about $15. That was a great deal after pricing this item at $50-$70 elsewhere. I am at best a novice with my home repair. I'm a single mom and a first time home owner who tries her hand at any repair I think I can figure out. Well after 5 minutes, it was fixed. No fuss, no tears, no extra stuff necessary. I saved myself the headache of down talk at the hardware store and the pain of buying a new fridge. So although my Kenmore is old enough to legally drink, it runs like new again. Thank you Amazon for selling this kit and shipping it fast with prime. You saved me yet again.

This was a direct replacement part and it got my old refrigerator running again. It was simple to do and the frig has been running trouble free and quietly for over 6 months. The old fan was noisy until if failed outright.
