Magic Chef 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 housing, Ice buildup around fan

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the freezer fan.

Steps:

Access fan: Remove freezer shelves and rear interior panel to expose the evaporator fan.
Check for ice: Remove any ice around the fan housing and blades. If noise persists after defrosting, the motor is likely worn.
Inspect blade: Ensure the fan blade is not cracked or rubbing. Replace if damaged.
Replace motor: Remove mounting screws, disconnect wiring, and install a Magic Chef-compatible evaporator fan motor. Reattach the blade and reassemble.
