Whirlpool Evaporator Fan Wire (W11087438)

The Whirlpool Evaporator Fan Wire connects the evaporator fan motor to the refrigerator’s wiring harness so the fan can receive power and run when the control calls for cooling. It routes voltage and signal to the fan inside the freezer compartment to move air across the evaporator coils and circulate cold air through the unit. This wire can fail from pinched or cut insulation during service, rubbing against sharp edges, heat or moisture exposure, or corrosion at the connector ends. Loose terminals, a partially backed-out connector, or a broken conductor inside the insulation can interrupt power to the fan and stop airflow. These symptoms can help you decide if this part addresses your issue: Evaporator fan not running even though the compressor is running Freezer is cold but fresh food section is warm due to poor airflow Intermittent cooling that returns when the door is opened or the unit is moved Buzzing, clicking, or fan attempts to start followed by stopping Burnt smell, darkened connector, or visible damage to the wire or plug near the fan
