Features & Benefits
-
OEM-engineered fit: Designed by Frigidaire for models that require 5304436055; ensures correct motor orientation, mounting hole alignment and electrical connector match. PartSelect+1
-
Restores cold-air circulation: The evaporator fan motor is crucial for pulling air across the evaporator coil and distributing it throughout the freezer/refrigerator compartment—without it, cooling performance suffers.
-
Reduces noise and improves efficiency: If your original motor is making excessive noise, humming, or has failed, replacing it with a proper kit can restore quiet and efficient operation.
-
Comprehensive kit: Some listings note that this kit includes mounting screws and other hardware. HNK Parts+1
-
Broad compatibility across flagship models: Fits a wide range of upright freezers and refrigerator/freezer combinations in the Frigidaire/Electrolux lineup. HNK Parts
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Is Needed
-
Freezer or refrigerator compartment is not maintaining proper temperature though the compressor and condenser seem operational.
-
Frost or heavy ice buildup on the evaporator or freezer back-panel—indicative of inadequate airflow from a failed fan motor. PartSelect
-
Unusual noises (whining, rattling) from the back of the freezer when the compressor is running.
-
Air vents inside the appliance have little or no airflow when the unit is running.
-
The motor fails entirely—no fan blade movement when you open the freezer back panel.

Compatibility Notes
-
Confirm the model number of your appliance and the existing fan motor part number—some similar-looking motors may differ in shaft length, mounting bracket, or connector orientation.
-
If the fan blade or mounting bracket was damaged by the old motor, check and replace as necessary; installing a new motor alone may not correct alignment or clearance issues.
-
During installation: unplug the appliance, remove the back panel inside the freezer, disconnect wiring, remove the old motor assembly, install the new one ensuring proper orientation and secure screws.
-
While the motor kit restores airflow, it will not fix unrelated problems such as refrigerant leaks, compressor failure, or thermostat/control board faults—those should be diagnosed by a certified technician.
