This is the second fan I've put in this fridge. The first time the fan just quit so after testing for voltage, it was obvious the fan was bad. This time it was different. When my refrigerator went into defrost mode, the temp was going up to 23 degrees instead of staying near 0 degrees. This was causing all my ice cubes to partially melt, then freeze back together in a big clump. I discovered that the fan was staying on during the defrost cycle, circulating hot air throughout the freezer and causing the ice to melt. I went through the whole defrost system, and the main board thinking that one of those was causing the fan to turn on when it should be off, but they all tested ok. I took a shot and bought this fan and it fixed the problem. The fan turns completely off now and my ice is normal. The fan I replaced was a non OEM and it did work fine for a number of years, but I would recommend this OEM fan as I do believe it's better quality. Saved me from replacing my fridge for $2000+ so I'm very happy.
