If you have an Estate TT18DKXEW03 this fan will work but I had to reuse my fan blade and brackets. Blade needed to bet drilled out carefully till I could push it on tightly.Supplied fan blade was too big.

Wires goes from the back of the motor not front. Plus all the set is useless since the propeller is made from plastic.

Product worked as advertised, and got my old Kenmore fridge back in operation. My only complaint was that the plastic fan had a small crack on one blade (likely due to the way it was packaged for shipping, loose in the same box as the motor). But I was able to reuse the plastic fan from the old motor, which was still in good shape.

I installed this fan to replace the original item in the back of the freezer compartment of a very old ‘Kenmore’ brand refrigerator. The old fan had become very noisy. These refrigerators work by drawing air from the freezer compartment down to the main cooler. The part fit nicely. The ears are extended to accommodate other models, so I had to remove material from the plastic cover (not shown) to fit. The old fridge is still running.

First, it's seems all old fan motors have approximately the same dimensions and the replacements are very similar, with helpful additions to make them "universal". Extra spacers, grommets, and such.All you need to check: will the fan fit in your opening? check the width of the fan blade against the dimensions of your hole.Second, even tho the products attempt to be universal, they aren't. In my case, the old fan mounted on the rear wall with slots to attach the back shell of the freezer compartment. The replacements won't do that.Third, as most everyone else has commented, you need to be a bit handy to make adjustments. Drill a couple extra holes, using some spare small bolts you have around, etc.The product itself is solid. It's quiet, relatively well made (I have to say "relatively" bec what you do expect for $20), and will do the trick if you're handy. My wife is peeved, but our 42-year-old fridge, used as a spare, is back in business!

The product arrived quickly and was easy to install, after I realized the the photos were inaccurate. The photo shows the new fan blade installed in reverse; also, the wiring has has the ground wire connected, as it should be, but the fan wouldn't run until the ground was disconnected. There was power to the fan but it wasn't turning and I was about to return the product when the ground accidentally dropped off and the fan started. My freezer now freezes my food. Unfortunately, it was VERY loud, as if it has a bad bearing, so I am returning it for a replacement. I will update this review after I receive the replacement.

I installed this fan motor as a replacement for the original one that lasted almost 20 years. It installed fine and worked at first. I did notice the quality of the fan blade is very flimsy, but it did work. A couple of days later I noticed the temps in the fridge section were warming up again. I opened the freezer and noticed there was no air circulation or sound from the fan. After removal of the evap cover I noticed the fan was barely turning. With the panel off and the freezer section starting to warm up, the fan started to spin faster again. This defeats the purpose of moving air in a freezer section but a motor that slows almost to a stop when cold. I have already packed it up for return. Maybe I received a bad motor. I just cant take another chance with this brand.

This took me about an hour to install and I'm not very handy so I think anybody can do this. Just search for installation videos on youtube. The one thing I wasn't sure of and just guessed at was the green ground wire on my old unit was just below the red and white wires but on the new unit, it's a few inches away so I just assumed that must be the ground at it was. Also, make sure where the wire is connecting to the unit that it's not impairing the fan from moving freely.

I purchased this to replace the original one in a Whirlpool refrigerator. Changing it out was simple enough but it does not turn at the same speed as the original. Therefore no matter how I set the controls, it will not blow enough cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator to keep it cold. I did not install this immediately and by the time I did and found out it would not work, I couldn't return it. Waste of time and money.
