Pevino Evaporator Fan Bearing Failure

High-pitched squealing or grinding 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 or housing, Misaligned fan shroud after service, Foreign object contacting fan blades

Safety: Unplug the cooler before accessing the fan.

Access fan: Remove shelves and the interior back panel to expose the evaporator fan motor.
Check for ice or debris: Remove any ice buildup or foreign objects around the fan blades.
Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. If it feels rough or noisy, the motor bearings are worn.
Replace fan motor: Install a new evaporator fan motor and ensure the fan blade is centered in the shroud without rubbing.
