When your refrigerator starts running warm, making a loud annoying hum, or building up frost, the evaporator fan assembly is often the first place to look. But the repair is not always the same part: sometimes the motor itself has failed, and sometimes the plastic cover around it has cracked. Two listings show exactly how different those jobs are. One is a replacement motor for Frigidaire-style refrigerators; the other is a fan motor cover for the DA97-12609-family part number. This head-to-head helps you pick the one that matches the actual failure.
Quick Verdict
If your refrigerator uses Frigidaire, Kenmore, or Electrolux part numbers like 240369701 or AH3419839 and the motor is the problem, the lower-priced motor replacement is the direct fix. If your repair involves a DA97-12609-series fan assembly and the cover is damaged, the higher-priced Findmall cover is the part listed for that reference. They solve different problems, so the real decision is what is broken.

Where Each Product Wins
The Frigidaire-compatible motor replacement wins when the issue is a failed motor. It is a 120V/60Hz motor with 3.8-inch mounting holes, a connector shown in the images, and a long list of replacement references, including AP4700070, AH3419839, EA3419839, and 1637660. It is also the lower-priced option in this comparison.
The Findmall DA97-12609 cover replacement wins when you need a new cover for that specific part number. It is made from engineering PC material with low-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and a high-strength, wear-resistant shell. It is listed as new, made in the United States, and backed by a 1-year warranty.
Evaporator Fan Motor Replacement For Frigidaire Refrigerator 240369701 AH3419839
For a refrigerator that falls into the Frigidaire, Kenmore, or Electrolux family, this replacement is the one to look at when the fan motor is the suspected culprit. It is specified as 120V/60Hz with 3.8-inch mounting hole spacing and a connector that matches the pictures. It also covers a broad set of part numbers, so if you cross-reference AH3419839, PS3419839, EA3419839, or any of the 240xxx model numbers, it is likely a match. The limitation is that it is a motor replacement, not a cover; if the plastic cover is cracked but the motor spins fine, this part does not address that failure.
Findmall DA97-12609 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Cover Replacement
This replacement is aimed at the cover side of the DA97-12609 evaporator fan assembly. Engineering PC material with low-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and a high-strength, wear-resistant shell make it suited to a humid refrigerator compartment. It also lists DA97-12609A, DA97-12609C, AP5651826, PS5575384, and EAP5575384 as cross-references, so it is a more targeted option for that family. The notable limitation is the price: it is the higher-priced of the two, and it only makes sense if the cover is the broken piece. If your issue is the motor itself, this part will not do the job.
