Samsung RF28T5001SR Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Replacement

Giriş

This guide shows how to remove and replace the evaporator fan (aka circulation fan) in your Samsung RF28T5001SR refrigerator.

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.
