Good OEM replacement motor for a Frigidaire freezer. Fits perfectly

I bought this to replace the motor in my basement freezer. I installed it and it ran, but within minutes, it quit. I thought perhaps it was just on a defrost cycle, but an hour later, it was still not running. I opened the back panel again and discovered that it did run if I moved the wires attached to the motor, indicating a short in the wiring. I replaced it with the old one again (it still runs, but it makes a noise that makes me believe its life is nearly over), and I tested the wiring on it to see if these motors are engineered to have that kind of wiring to turn it off/on as temperature changes (I wanted to give the new part the benefit of the doubt). Moving the wires on the old motor did NOT turn it off and on. In fairness to the seller, the return for a defective item was prompt and hassle-free. Assuming I just had a bad egg item, I purchased the same motor again from this seller. They sent me a new one, and that one had the identical problem: a short in the wires. I wondered if they just sent me the defective one back, but I had taken pictures of the original one they sent, and there were distinguishing marks indicating this was a different motor. Again, the return was hassle free, but if I received two defective motors in such a short time, it looks like they have a bad lot of motors in their warehouse. The item looks in every way an OEM, and it likely is, but you're best off avoiding buying this item from this seller. Instead, I'd look to one of the non-Amazon websites that specialize in appliance replacement parts. That's the direction I went, and the one I ordered from another site runs even if I move the wires: no short.

We left our Frigidaire upright freezer cracked open overnight. Probably even longer throughout the day. Later, we heard a loud motor noise. The bottom freezes, while the top remains room temperature or so; but not frozen. Since this was new territory, we really had no clue. Until my dad mentioned that the evaporator is probably broken. I YouTubed this concern. Later stumbled upon this product on Amazon. I made sure that our freezer model is compatible with this motor.Installation: once received, we removed the interior back portion wall. Removed the fan motor, aka evaporator motor. We see that there was a large brick of ice blocking the fan. Issue identified! Installed this replacement. All while the freezer was unplugged from the wall of course.Results: Holy smokes. Worked like a charm! Freezer is back to normal.I did call the nearest Frigidaire service company. The lady quoted me for a $75 visit with an expectation of spending $200-$300 for both installation and parts. That is about $300-$400 we would have spent.We took a chance on this product. Researched on YouTube on how to change. And bam! We saved about $250-$350!!! Hallelujah.

Awesome motor, installed it in 10 minutes and worked right away! It's a great way to fix a $700 Upright Kenmore Freezer for $37. I highly recommend this item

I like that was able to look on YouTube and find my part and how to install it myself. My freezer is over 6ft. tall and about 8 years old but at my age I am not in the market for a new one and income doesn't allow me to call a repair man. So I was able to find my part and it was correct and installed it myself in forty five minutes. Took that long cause I needed a little help loosing a bolt on it. But I try DIY projects as much as possible and Amazon sellers make that easy and affordable.

This product worked perfectly. I bought a commercial standup freezer from Lowes Building supplies around 2001-2002. It started giving trouble about 5 years ago and went out completely about 2 years ago. I was slowful about throwing it out. But after donations for fresh fish came to help feed the poor, we did not have enough freezer space. So I was prompted and led to check out the freezer to see if I could repair it. The problem for me was that I knew nothing about this type equipment. But, being led to try I opened the freezer and removed some screws. I noticed that the little fan made a noise when it was powered up and did not run all the time. So I removed the fan and checked amazon for the part. Amazon had the replacement fan. I purchased it, installed it and it works perfectly. Just like a new one. I will be reluctant to throw out this type equipment in the future just because the fan makes a noise. I have thrown out nice equipment in the past for this reason.

This saved me $300. My only gripe is that I had to tap the threads which is something I didn't know how to do... Now that I think about it, though, now that I've learned, I'm happy to have the know-how... So, maybe that's a plus? Either way, be aware that you'll have to tap threads, but otherwise, this device is a simple plug-and-play as they come!

This costs approximately 10 times as much as a little shaded pole permanent magnet AC motor _should_ cost at retail, but it is an exact replacement part for the failed air handler motor in my Frigidaire (Kenmore) freezer, and there's great value to having a working freezer again :-)As for the untapped (unthreaded) screw holes folks are mentioning; this is intentional. The motor ships like that and the soft metal of the frame is designed to be tapped (threaded) on assembly. Just remove the screws from the failed motor, and being careful to keep them fairly straight, screw them into the new motor once. They may be a little tight at first but they'll create their own threads as they go in. Then remove them, reinstall the motor and fan, and screw it in again. Easy-peasy.
