Quick take
A refrigerator or HVAC system gives a few warning signs before it fails completely: a cover may crack, the evaporator fan motor may stop moving air, or the evaporator and condenser coils may be coated in grime that blocks airflow. Which part you need depends on which failure you actually have. The products here cover all three situations, with listed prices ranging from the low $20s to the mid-$140s.
All four products are listed as new. The two Samsung evaporator covers both reference DA97-13757A as the compatible model, so if that number matches your refrigerator, the decision may come down to the cover you prefer. The Makerauto motor is for Frigidaire models using 5304530651 or 242077704. The remaining item is a coil cleaning and fin-comb tool rather than a replacement component.

Product notes
Evaporator Cover AP5798278 for Samsung RF31FMEDBBC/AA-05 RF31FMESBSR/AA-00
This white, new Samsung cover is the highest-priced option at USD 144.98. It references DA97-13757A as the compatible model and includes a long list of Samsung refrigerator model numbers starting around RF23HSESBSR/AA-00 and RF28HMEDBWW/AA-00. If your model is in that range, this product gives you a Samsung-brand replacement cover with a detailed compatibility guide. The main limitation is the price difference with the other Samsung cover: it lists for $3.02 more than the DA97-13757A-titled product. The description warns that if your model number isn't in the list, the cover won't fit, so compatibility should be your first check.
Evaporator Cover DA97-13757A for Samsung RF24FSEDBSR/AA-01 RF30HBEDBSR/AA-11 NEW
At USD 141.96, this is the lower-priced Samsung cover in the set. It's new, white, and lists the same DA97-13757A compatible model as the AP5798278 cover. Its title specifically calls out RF24FSEDBSR/AA-01 and RF30HBEDBSR/AA-11, so those models are easy to spot. The drawback is scale: it's still a sizable purchase compared with the motor and cleaner in this group, and if the real failure is the evaporator fan motor rather than the cover, this part won't get the fan spinning. Also, like the other cover, it only fits if your Samsung model appears in the compatibility list.
NEW Refrigerator Fridge Evaporator Motor 5304530651 242077704 for Frigidaire
This Makerauto motor is the least expensive part in the comparison at USD 22.99. It's new, described as a direct replacement, made of plastic, and placed at the front. The manufacturer part numbers in the title are 5304530651 and 242077704, and the manufacturer warranty is listed as 1 year. If your Frigidaire fridge uses those numbers, this is the only replacement motor in the group. The limitation is fit: the description says the compatibility is for reference and asks you to compare the part number with your old one before buying. This also won't help if the problem is a cracked cover or dirty coils rather than a failed motor.
AC Coil Cleaning Brush & Fin Cleaner Comb for HVAC Evaporator & Condenser
The only maintenance tool here is listed at USD 26.99. It's new and carries item model number CBB 4-65 and a UPC. Rather than replacing a fridge part, it's meant for cleaning dirt off evaporator and condenser coils so airflow can recover. The description notes that dirty coils can block airflow, reduce cooling power, and increase energy costs, which makes this a relevant option if you're not ready to replace a component. The limitation is that it's not a repair part. If a motor is burned out or a cover is broken, brushing the coils won't bring either back to life.
Final recommendation by use case
- If the Samsung model number is in the DA97-13757A compatibility list and you need an evaporator cover, start with the DA97-13757A-titled cover. It's the lower-priced of the two Samsung covers and shares the same compatible model reference.
- If your Frigidaire refrigerator needs an evaporator motor and your old part number is 5304530651 or 242077704, choose the Makerauto motor. It's the only motor in the group and the least expensive part listed.
- If you're working on HVAC coils and want to improve airflow without replacing components, go with the AC Coil Cleaning Brush & Fin Cleaner Comb. It's the only maintenance tool in the set.
