00:00:12.280 hello this is Tim with ace appliance in 00:00:15.22000:00:15.230 Toledo Ohio and welcome back to another 00:00:17.62000:00:17.630 in-home diagnostic video brought to you 00:00:20.26000:00:20.270 by appliance video comm all right so 00:00:23.41000:00:23.420 we're looking at a Kenmore refrigerator 00:00:25.92900:00:25.939 now cool the first thing we notice is 00:00:29.14000:00:29.150 that the evaporator fan is not running 00:00:32.31000:00:32.320 we check the back the compressors 00:00:34.87000:00:34.880 running and the condenser fan is running 00:00:37.27000:00:37.280 so we're going to remove all the stuff 00:00:39.97000:00:39.980 out of the freezer and check the back of 00:00:42.22000:00:42.230 the evaporator and the evaporator family 00:00:56.28000:00:56.290 so some of these shelves they have a 00:00:58.96000:00:58.970 stopper in the back that you have to 00:01:01.09000:01:01.100 remove before you take the shelf out 00:01:03.06000:01:03.070 that just pulls off the back looks like 00:01:10.74900:01:10.759 that 00:01:13.23000:01:13.240 the Shelf by pushing in and then up 00:01:24.50000:01:24.510 slide out 00:01:54.57000:01:54.580 now we're going to remove the two screws 00:01:57.10000:01:57.110 in the back to pull this cover off then 00:02:17.98000:02:17.990 you should just have to pull forward 00:02:31.74000:02:31.750 there's some connections in the back 00:02:33.88000:02:33.890 make sure you have the unit off before 00:02:36.49000:02:36.500 you unplug anything so one way of 00:02:47.53000:02:47.540 testing an evaporator fan motor is that 00:02:50.89000:02:50.900 is an AC fan motor is to apply 110 volts 00:02:54.43000:02:54.440 of direct current to it which we're 00:02:58.63000:02:58.640 doing here and the motor is not 00:03:00.85000:03:00.860 responding okay so we're going to change 00:03:03.91000:03:03.920 out the evaporator fan motor the first 00:03:06.72900:03:06.739 thing we have to do to get to the 00:03:07.81000:03:07.820 brackets is to remove this front cover 00:03:13.38000:03:13.390 and it's just held in by a couple clips 00:03:16.18000:03:16.190 in the back just depress the clips 00:03:26.86000:03:26.870 so I'll come right off put these two 00:03:34.22000:03:34.230 screws quarter-inch nuts access the fan 00:03:54.71000:03:54.720 motor so we're going to remove the blade 00:03:57.44000:03:57.450 just pull forward on it and we're just 00:04:07.61000:04:07.620 going to take the cage off around it 00:04:33.89000:04:33.900 there's our vibrator fan motor okay so 00:04:38.26000:04:38.270 this is the old evaporator fan motor 00:04:42.19000:04:42.200 this is the new one we may see a little 00:04:45.17000:04:45.180 difference in the instructions it tells 00:04:47.63000:04:47.640 you to tie in these to the new one 00:04:54.41000:04:54.420 you can keep the same harness and the 00:04:57.38000:04:57.390 same ground just stay with the kit they 00:05:00.62000:05:00.630 give you a few wire ties and so that's 00:05:03.65000:05:03.660 the next thing we're going to do take 00:05:07.07000:05:07.080 our wire cutters here get rid of the old 00:05:10.28000:05:10.290 connection strip the wires back 00:05:44.12900:05:44.139 it's what 00:05:50.13900:05:50.149 okay remove everything from the old one 00:06:00.18900:06:00.199 put that inside so now we're going to 00:06:06.43900:06:06.449 tie in the new fan 00:06:07.90900:06:07.919 they provided a harness but since we 00:06:09.82900:06:09.839 already have one we're not going to use 00:06:11.08900:06:11.099 that make sure you give yourself enough 00:06:13.27900:06:13.289 room so that you can reinstall it so 00:06:16.51900:06:16.529 we're going to cut these down here strip 00:06:21.92000:06:21.930 these lawyers back 00:06:43.67900:06:43.689 then we're just going to tie them all 00:06:45.50900:06:45.519 back in using wire nuts 00:07:01.65000:07:01.660 so they're all color-coded too so you 00:07:03.81000:07:03.820 can keep the same wires together as soon 00:07:09.27000:07:09.280 as the wire starts or twists like that 00:07:10.83000:07:10.840 you know you've got your connection take 00:07:14.88000:07:14.890 the next two these two go together so 00:07:18.23000:07:18.240 tie all three of these in 00:07:25.37000:07:25.380 just to make sure no moisture anything 00:07:29.96000:07:29.970 gets in there 00:07:31.66000:07:31.670 followed up with taping all the other 00:07:34.85000:07:34.860 connections 00:07:48.14000:07:48.150 all right now that all of our wiring is 00:07:50.27000:07:50.280 done we can reinstall the new motor so 00:07:55.46000:07:55.470 first we're gonna put the pump on

make sure everything lines up real nice 00:08:37.05000:08:37.060 reinstall 00:09:10.47000:09:10.480 just going to feed this back into the 00:09:12.38900:09:12.399 front 00:09:28.72000:09:28.730 line it up from the back everything's 00:09:43.46000:09:43.470 tight you can flip it around mm-hmm make 00:09:47.54000:09:47.550 sure all of our captions are out of the 00:09:49.07000:09:49.080 way of the fan make sure everything's 00:09:51.41000:09:51.420 set the right way and reconnect the last 00:09:56.06000:09:56.070 round 00:10:12.35000:10:12.360 we're going to put the cover back on 00:10:18.86000:10:18.870 realigning the tab to the top first I 00:10:23.90000:10:23.910 just have to push them all in just snap 00:10:40.79000:10:40.800 just like that I'll clean off the front

00:10:51.66000:10:51.670 in the bottom part is going to line up 00:10:58.71000:10:58.720 right here and right back here is our 00:11:01.25900:11:01.269 connection it's keyed in so you can't 00:11:06.54000:11:06.550 put it in the wrong way make sure that 00:11:13.80000:11:13.810 secure in there line the whole bottom 00:11:22.43000:11:22.440 back in place 00:11:25.55000:11:25.560 now we're
