Samsung RF28R7201SG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan (Freezer Compartment) Replacement

はじめに

This guide shows how to remove and replace the freezer evaporator fan or circulation fan in your Samsung RF28R7201SG refrigerator.

The Samsung fridge has two evaporator fans, and this guide is for the fan in the freezer compartment. For the refrigerator evaporator fan, follow this guide instead.

The evaporator fan circulates cold air from the evaporator coils into the freezer compartment. If your freezer isn't cooling sufficiently or evenly (the back of the compartment gets much colder), you may have a faulty evaporator fan.
