Admiral Refrigerator Repair – North Canton, OH (PFE28RSHGSS)

We responded to a North Canton home where an Admiral refrigerator was making an intermittent noise from the back. The sound would start softly, get louder, then stop after a few minutes. Our diagnosis revealed a failing fresh food evaporator fan that needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported a sound from back of refrigerator that starts out softly then gets louder, then stops after a few minutes. This cycling pattern pointed to a failing motor component in the cooling system.

Diagnosis

We accessed the rear compartment and identified the fresh food evaporator fan as the source of the noise. The fan motor was struggling to maintain consistent operation, causing the varying sound levels before temporarily shutting down.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WR60X26866 — Fresh Food Evaporator Fan
• Work performed: Replaced FF evaporator fan
• Result: Refrigerator operating quietly with proper airflow restored

Is It Worth Repairing?

Admiral refrigerators, now part of the Whirlpool family, are generally built for reliable service. A fan motor replacement on a model like this PFE28RSHGSS is typically a worthwhile repair, as these units can provide many more years of service when properly maintained.

Maintenance Tips for Admiral Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean — Admiral models benefit from quarterly coil cleaning to reduce strain on fan motors
• Check door seals regularly as Admiral units rely on proper sealing for efficient evaporator fan operation
• Don’t overpacking — adequate airflow around the evaporator fan prevents premature motor wear
