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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-qa-label\"\u003eQuick Answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e5901JA1021A Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Blade\u003c\/strong\u003e fixes LG and select Kenmore refrigerators with reduced cooling airflow, a wobbling or unbalanced fan noise, or a cracked\/chipped\/missing fan blade.

Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel to expose the evaporator fan. If there's significant frost or ice around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing. Photograph the old blade's orientation on the motor shaft before removing it. Gently pull the old fan blade off the motor shaft — it typically presses on and off without tools. Press the new 5901JA1021A blade onto the same motor shaft in the same orientation, seating it fully. Confirm the blade spins freely by hand without wobbling or contacting the housing before reassembling the back panel. Restore power and monitor cooling performance over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, even airflow has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (for the rear panel), work gloves.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eHow do I know if I need just the blade or the whole motor?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eCheck whether the motor is actually turning.
