We responded to a service call in Minerva, OH for an Admiral refrigerator with temperature control issues. The bottom drawer was freezing food while the top shelf was only reaching 52°. Our diagnosis revealed a failed fresh food evaporator fan, which is a common issue with these models.
The Problem
The customer reported that the bottom drawer was freezing food while the top shelf was only at 52°. This temperature imbalance indicated poor air circulation within the fresh food compartment.
Diagnosis
We found that the fresh food evaporator fan had failed. This is a common issue with these models and causes uneven cooling throughout the refrigerator compartment.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WR60X26866 — Fresh Food Evaporator Fan
- Work performed: Replaced the fresh food evaporator fan
- Result: Proper air circulation restored throughout the refrigerator
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral refrigerators are budget-friendly appliances that can provide years of reliable service when properly maintained. A failed evaporator fan is a straightforward repair on these units, and replacing it typically restores proper cooling performance for years to come.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Refrigerators
- Keep condenser coils clean — Admiral units tend to collect dust quickly on the back coils
- Check door seals regularly as these budget models may develop seal issues over time
- Don’t overload compartments as this can strain the circulation fans
