Electrolux Evaporator Fan Motor Bearing Wear

Wine cooler makes a high-pitched squealing or chirping noise from inside the cabinet.

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 buildup, Fan blade misaligned on shaft

Safety: Unplug the unit before removing interior panels.

Steps:

1. Access evaporator fan: Remove shelves and the rear interior panel to expose the fan.
2. Check for ice: Look for frost or ice around the fan. If present, defrost the unit completely and check defrost system components.
3. Inspect fan blade: Ensure the blade is centered and not rubbing on the housing. Adjust if necessary.
4. Replace fan motor: If the noise persists and the motor feels rough when spun by hand, replace the Electrolux evaporator fan motor.
