hi my name is Bill and today I want to be showing you how to replace the fan

motor grommet on your fridge the reason why you might have to do this is because

the grommet is damaged causing your evaporator fan motor to make unusual

noises for this repair we'll be using a quarter-inch nut driver flat head

screwdriver and a Phillips head screwdriver warning before doing any

repairs please disconnect your power source so this is the fridge we're gonna

be using for our demonstration here it's a maytag keep in mind yours might

be a little bit different at home than what we have here but the same

techniques should still apply so the first thing we're gonna do is open up

our freezer door here now we need to remove the ice maker and to do that

there are three screws holding on here and then two up here we'll use our

quarter inch nut driver and get those off now

and as you take out this last screw you just want to hold the ice maker so that

doesn't fall down and all we have to do to unclip these wires is just undo this

tab right here lift up on it slightly and pull out now I want to take off this

piece right here which is just covering another screw that's inside so we use a

flathead screwdriver and pry that off and now I'll use a quarter-inch nut

driver to remove the screw and now the next thing I need to do is there are a

few plastic tabs on the side of this piece right here so I'm gonna push in

and pull out to release the plastic tabs

and the whole assembly will come right out now to remove the evaporator cover

here I've got to remove these four screws here so I'll use a Phillips head

screwdriver and do that now

now that I have all those screws out I can remove the evaporator cover just by

pulling out a little bit anywhere and then the whole thing come out nice and

easy the other thing we're gonna want to do is that there's a grounding wire for

the icemaker so we're just gonna remove that from the

cover set that down and we can pull the cover out now to get this bracket off I

need to remove the two screws that are holding it on there so we've got it our

quarter inch nut driver again

now that the screws are out bracket should come right off and what we're

gonna want to do is just also remove all these wires and the way they're just

held in place back here by this clip now

we'll unplug the fan so we're just going to pop that clip up and pull it out and

we've got this one last wire so we can pull that out as well now I want to

pull the fan off so if you get the blade off just pull that straight out we'll go

back on the other side push it out just like that so and if we need to you can

just angle that out and it'll pop right out now we can take your fan out and the

fan motor has two grommets on it it's got one on the front right here and it's

got this one on the back so they're both gonna be the same part so just take off

whichever one you need to replace in this case we'll take off the one in the

front and now you can grab your new OEM replacement fan motor grommet if you

don't have one already find it on our online store and now we'll put our grommet on

you'll see that this has a hexagonal shape and the grommet has a hexagonal

hole in it so you just going to want to line that up and push that straight on

it'll fit nice and snug on there and now we're going to line up our fan motor

bracket and with the bracket it's got that hexagonal hole there

so we'll line up the grommet and put it inside

and will put the back piece on line up the clips here first and then line up

the fan motor and push it in and the back of this clip also has that hexagonal

hole you just want to make sure that the grommet on the back is also lined up

properly with that back hole and now we'll line up our fan blade and we'll

push that straight on just like that that spins nicely tight and now we'll

reattach the wire onto the side of the motor here and then we'll plug it back

in here as well

and now we'll put our fan motor back into place up here and you're gonna line

up the hole in the back and screw back in now I want to put the wires back

into place as well so just go underneath the clips there like they were earlier

and these ones will go in the front with that piece kind of weave in and out

now we'll put the evaporator cover back in and what we want to do first is just put an

angle and clip in the grounding wire here on the side it's sitting right

there and then what we're gonna do is grab this wire here and feed it through

the hole near the grounding wire and as we set it up just like that pull it

through and then we can put the fan cover back in place just in the backside

there like so and push cover so that it goes all the way back now we might have

to move the icemaker up a little bit to get it in all the way once you've done

that now screw it back in

and as you can see right here I've left the glove right up here and don't have

to have a glove or anything but just something to cover these three holes not

the end of the world if when your screws fall down in there because you can take

it apart if it falls on the one of the sides it will fall right through into

the refrigerator department it falls in the middle you'll have to do some

disassembly on the inside of the fridge too now I'll put the icemaker back into

place so the first thing we're gonna do is plug it back in and once you've got a

plugged in you can line up the holes and you're gonna also want to put the tube

into the back piece over here and then screw it back

now I'll put the circulation vent back into place and two tabs right on the

bottom right there push that in so it clips into place now we can screw it in

now put the cover back in place and your repair is complete

finally don't forget to plug in your appliance if you need to replace any
