3. Operazzjoni

The Whirlpool W11024089 Evaporator Fan Motor operates automatically as part of your refrigerator's cooling system. Once installed and power is restored, the motor will engage to spin the evaporator fan blade (not included with this part). This action draws air over the cold evaporator coils, which removes heat and humidity from the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The cooled air is then circulated throughout the appliance to maintain desired temperatures.

Proper operation is indicated by consistent cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer sections, and the absence of unusual noises emanating from the fan area.

4. Manutenzjoni
