The symptom split is the clue. In a Windermere condo in southwest Edmonton, an LG refrigerator’s freezer kept freezing while the fresh-food side stopped cooling entirely. On refrigerators built around a single evaporator, that asymmetry is a recognizable signature: the freezer sits right beside the coil and coasts on proximity, but the fridge compartment receives cold only through fan-driven ducted airflow. Freezer alive, fridge dead almost always means the fan is gone — not the compressor, not the sealed system.
The unit said as much itself: the display showed FF E, LG’s code for an evaporator fan that isn’t operating normally. TechVill technician Kim confirmed it physically on the LRFNS2200D — the evaporator fan motor’s bearing had blown, seizing the motor outright. Electronic code and mechanical evidence pointing at the same part is exactly the agreement you want before ordering anything.
Component replaced:
- Evaporator fan motor assembly (part #EAU65058315) — LG OEM 12V DC motor; drives the ducted airflow that carries cooling from the evaporator into the fresh-food compartment
The repair was quoted at $510.50 + GST = $536.03 CAD, approved, and paid in full — a clean single-decision transaction with airflow to be verified and the error code cleared at completion.
For homeowners, the takeaway travels well: note which compartment failed, not just that “the fridge is broken.” That one detail — freezer fine, fridge warm — points a diagnosis at the fan system before a technician even arrives, and away from the expensive guesses.
