KOLEOLL DA31-00287B Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor, 12V DC, 2.5W

When a compatible refrigerator has poor cooling or a noisy evaporator fan, replacing the fan motor may be a more targeted repair than replacing the appliance. The KOLEOLL DA31-00287B is a replacement evaporator fan motor intended for air circulation inside the refrigerator, its listed electrical specifications are 12V DC and 2.5W.

This part is listed for select Samsung refrigerator models, but model fit matters more than a similar-looking listing. Check your refrigerator’s model number and compare the replacement part’s appearance before ordering.

Where it shines

The evaporator fan circulates air in the refrigerator’s fresh-food area. A motor replacement is worth considering when a fan-related problem is suspected and the existing part matches the listed fit. The description connects a damaged fan with symptoms such as noise, poor cooling, abnormal temperature, frost, or a frozen evaporator coil. Those symptoms can help frame a repair question, but they do not confirm on their own that the motor is the cause.

For someone narrowing down a specific replacement part, this offers a focused alternative to shopping for a broader refrigerator repair. A more extensive repair may make sense if inspection points to other damaged components, the listing does not establish that replacing this motor will resolve every cooling issue.

Highlights

The listed specifications are 12V DC, 2.5W, 0.21A, and 1,870 RPM. Its stated purpose is to move air for cooling inside the refrigerator. The item weighs 6 ounces, and the listing identifies one item in the package. No installation steps or tools are specified, so the product details alone are not enough to judge how involved the repair will be.

The listing names Samsung models including RF23J9011SR, RF220NCTASR, RS25H5111SG, RF34H9960S4, RF28K9380SG, RF34H9950S4, RF32FMQDBSR, RH25H5611SG, RF22K9381SR, RH25H5611BC, RF28T5001SR, and RF220NCTABC. It also gives the compatible part references 3954921, AP5948644, PS9494284, and EAP9494284. These references are useful for comparison, but they should not replace checking the refrigerator model and the part itself.

Best use cases

A solid pick if you have identified the evaporator fan motor as the part to replace and your refrigerator model and existing component match the listing. For a practical check, compare the model number on the refrigerator with the listed examples, then inspect the old motor or its reference before ordering. That extra matching step is especially useful when several part numbers appear in a product title.

It might not be a great match if you are still diagnosing the source of a cooling problem or cannot establish that your refrigerator uses this motor. The listing does not provide a complete compatibility list, and it advises confirming the model and product appearance.

Practical questions

What does this motor do? It drives the evaporator fan, which circulates air in the refrigerator’s fresh-food area.

Buying verdict

Choose the KOLEOLL DA31-00287B when you need this specific evaporator fan motor and can match it to your refrigerator. Its role and electrical details are clearly stated, but fitment still depends on the individual appliance. If the fault has not been diagnosed or the part does not visually match, this listing alone is not enough to establish that it is the right repair.
