A customer in Uniontown called about their Admiral refrigerator with one cooling vent not blowing cold air, leaving half the fridge warm while the other half worked overtime. Our diagnosis revealed a failed evaporator fan that needed immediate replacement.
The Problem
One of the cooling vents wasn’t blowing cold air. So half the fridge was warm and the other half was working overtime to cool.
Diagnosis
The fan in the fridge had failed. Without proper air circulation from the evaporator fan, cold air couldn’t distribute evenly throughout the refrigerator compartment, causing the temperature imbalance the customer experienced.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WR60X26866 — DC evaporator fan
- Work performed: Replaced the failed evaporator fan
- Result: The fridge is cooling correctly
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral refrigerators from this era are generally reliable units, and an evaporator fan failure is a common repair that typically extends the appliance’s life significantly. Given that this addresses a core cooling function, this repair was definitely worthwhile for maintaining proper food storage temperatures.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Refrigerators
- Keep condenser coils clean by vacuuming them every 6 months to prevent overwork
- Check door seals regularly and wipe them clean to maintain proper temperature
- Don’t block air vents inside the refrigerator compartment with food items
