This guide shows how to remove and replace the evaporator fan or circulation fan in your Samsung refrigerator.
Some Samsung refrigerators have two evaporator fans, and this guide is for the fan in the refrigerator compartment. For the freezer evaporator fan, follow this guide instead
The evaporator fan circulates cold air from the evaporator coils into the refrigerator compartment. If your refrigerator compartment isn't cooling evenly (the back of the compartment gets much colder), you may have a faulty evaporator fan.
This guide will work for most Samsung Refrigerators . This guide is based on a model RF28R7201SG Refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
