241509402 - Electrolux Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor

This Electrolux Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor (241509402) is a genuine part compatible with select Electrolux and Frigidaire refrigerator models. It serves the crucial function of spinning a fan to blow air across the cold, refrigerant-filled evaporator coils, ensuring that cold air is circulated through both the refrigerator and freezer compartments to maintain optimal temperatures. This process is essential for the heat absorption from the refrigerator and freezer contents, thanks to the forced convection principle that allows for effective cooling. The motor itself features bearings that facilitate a smooth rotation of the fan blades and is designed to operate with minimal vibration. The consistent airflow generated by this motor is vital for the regulation of temperatures within the fridge by continually transferring heat from the contents to the refrigeration system, thereby preventing the compartments from becoming warm due to inefficient heat exchange. Symptoms that may indicate the need for a replacement include the refrigerator and freezer compartments becoming unusually warm even though the compressor is running, suggesting the fan is not properly circulating air. Before purchasing, customers are advised to verify the compatibility of this part with their device's model number.
