Vissani Evaporator Fan Motor Bearing Failure

High-pitched squealing or chirping noise from inside the freezer.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn evaporator fan motor bearings, Fan blade rubbing on ice or housing, Misaligned fan shaft

Safety: Unplug the freezer before accessing the fan.

Steps:

Access fan: Remove interior baskets and the rear panel to expose the evaporator fan motor.
Check for ice: Look for ice buildup around the fan. Defrost if necessary and ensure the blade spins freely.
Inspect blade: Ensure the blade is not cracked or rubbing on the housing. Re-seat or replace the blade if damaged.
Replace motor: If squealing persists and the motor feels rough when spun by hand, replace the evaporator fan motor.
