5901JA1021A Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Blade
The 5901JA1021A is a genuine LG OEM evaporator fan blade for LG and select Kenmore refrigerators. This is the plastic blade itself — not the motor — that mounts onto the evaporator fan motor's shaft and physically moves air through the evaporator fins and interior compartment as it spins, which is what carries cooled air to the fresh food and freezer sections and helps maintain efficient, even cooling.
Over time, the blade can crack, chip, or warp from ice contact, age, or physical damage, even while the motor underneath it is still working perfectly fine. A damaged fan blade typically shows up as reduced airflow and less effective cooling, a wobbling or unbalanced sound as the fan spins, or visible cracks and missing pieces on the blade itself. Since this is the blade only, it's a straightforward and inexpensive fix when the motor is still good but the blade has failed. It directly replaces 5901JJ1005A, AP4457221, 1268187, AH3528674, EA3528674, and PS3528674.
Quick Answer
The 5901JA1021A Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Blade fixes LG and select Kenmore refrigerators with reduced cooling airflow, a wobbling or unbalanced fan noise, or a cracked/chipped/missing fan blade. Replaces 5901JJ1005A, AP4457221, 1268187, AH3528674, EA3528674, PS3528674. This is the blade only, not the motor — if your fan motor itself has failed (won't spin, no power, electrical fault), you need a motor replacement instead, such as our EAU61524007 listing.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Reduced airflow and less effective cooling despite the fan motor running
- Wobbling, unbalanced, or rattling sound as the fan spins
- Visible cracks, chips, or missing sections on the fan blade
- Fan blade that has broken away from the motor shaft
- Inconsistent cooling performance in the refrigerator or freezer

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need just the blade or the whole motor?
Check whether the motor is actually turning. If you can see or hear the motor shaft spinning but the blade is cracked, wobbling, or missing pieces, this blade-only replacement is the correct and less expensive fix. If the motor itself isn't turning at all — no spin, no hum, or an electrical fault — the motor has failed and needs to be replaced instead, which is a different part from this blade.
My fan makes a wobbling or rattling noise. Is that the blade?
It's a strong possibility, especially if the motor itself sounds otherwise normal. A cracked, chipped, or unevenly worn blade can throw off the fan's balance as it spins, producing a rattling or wobbling sound distinct from the grinding noise typically associated with a failing motor bearing.
Do I need any tools to replace this blade?
No, in most cases. The blade presses onto and off of the motor shaft without tools — you'll just need a screwdriver to access the rear panel covering the evaporator fan area, but the blade swap itself is tool-free.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original blade design and motor shaft fit of the evaporator fan blade originally installed in your refrigerator.
