Hisense Evaporator Fan Motor Bearing Failure

High-pitched squealing or grinding noise from inside the cabinet when running.

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 contacting fan blades, Loose fan mounting screws

Unplug the unit before opening the interior panel.

Access the fan: Remove shelves and the rear inner panel to expose the evaporator fan.
Inspect fan blade: Check for ice or debris contacting the blades. Defrost any ice buildup fully.
Check mounting: Tighten fan motor screws and ensure the blade is centered in the shroud.
Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. If it feels rough or squeals, replace the evaporator fan motor.

Use a Hisense-compatible replacement motor and ensure correct wiring and rotation direction.
