If your refrigerator is running but the freezer isn't staying cold, or you hear a clicking or whirring sound from the back panel, the evaporator fan motor is a likely suspect. This small fan sits behind the freezer wall and pushes air across the evaporator coils. When it fails, airflow drops and the fridge warms up. Sometimes the issue isn't the motor itself but the plastic fan cover that channels airflow and protects the blades.
Here are four replacement parts that cover different repair needs, from a motor-only swap to a cover replacement. All are listed as new, and each targets specific refrigerator brands or part numbers.

Product notes
Findmall DA97-12609 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Cover Replacement
Listed at $77.81, the Findmall DA97-12609 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Cover Replacement is the only cover in this group rather than a motor. It is new, white, and listed as compatible with model DA97-12609. The description says it's made from engineering PC material that resists low temperatures, corrosion, and wear, and it's built to handle the humid environment of a refrigerator without deforming. If your evaporator fan motor is still running but the plastic cover is cracked, warped, or missing, this is the part that matches the DA97-12609 cover form. One limitation is that it won't fix a motor that has failed; it only addresses the cover. The higher listed price reflects that it's a different part type.
Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor 2315539 (Beaquicy)
At $22.00, the Beaquicy 2315539 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor is a mid-priced motor that lists compatibility with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid refrigerators.

It's described as easy to install, made from high quality materials, quiet, and free of harmful chemicals. The color is listed as multicolor. This motor is a good fit if you're working on a Whirlpool-family refrigerator and want a broader cross-reference list. One limitation: it's an aftermarket part, so the exact fit depends on your refrigerator model matching one of the listed part numbers.

It says it addresses not cooling, loud noise, and excessive frost. This is the only product in the group that lists a specific mounting hole dimension, which helps when comparing fit. One limitation: no brand name accompanies this part, so you'll need to match your original motor's connector and dimensions.
