Hi,
I have a Whirlpool "top/bottom" refrigerator which is less than two
years old. The fan motor's perm. magnet rotor, which is of a power iron type
of composition, had a piece break off and fragmented. The fragments "jammed"
the motor. I used a shop vac to suck the pieces from the rotor and stator
assembly. Afterwards, the motor ran. I installed the motor, but I ordered
a new motor. I hope that the new motor will be a better quality, made in
America motor. Note: This fan is located in the back of the freezer
compartment.
If you have a Whirlpool "fridge", when your fridge is "running", make
sure the fan is also running. My fridge compartment temp rose to around 54
degrees due to the fan not running. I had to throw out a lot of food.
