Samsung RS2630WW Fan Noise

[MuffinFlavored]

I purchased this refrigerator from Best Buy for $1200 dollars. My old $800 refrigerator never had problems like this.

The fan (I am assuming "evaporator fan", see the pictures below) is making a very weird noise.

I assumed that this noise was caused by the fins of the fan clipping the plastic housing.
I have tried cutting a lot off of the fan fins to prevent this, but the noise still occurs.
It does not occur the entire time. Sometimes it occurs in short bursts, other time it just keeps going.
The entire build of this refrigerator is cheap. The plastic is very bendable and the fan is not securely on the "axle".

Any help/suggestions would be very helpful!


Model RS2630WW

Thank you,

One way to solve would be to take the blade to an appliance parts store and buy a new motor and blade that size. Let me just take a wild guess here and say a 2 watt motor with blade would probably be less than 30 bucks but would it fit that design?

Actually, Samsung and Maytag both had so much trouble with the white plastic motors that that went back to a conventional motor that is much more durable.  Type your model number into the 3rd parts lookup on the left column for all related parts.

I had the same problem.
I opened the back panel, and I see that now the fan has stopped spinning completely.
How do I remove the condenser fan?
Please help!

1) Condenser Fan
2) not a good idea, Fan Blade won't be balanced
3) not good, that's the cause, Fan Blade must be replaced
